Abstract

Control is one of the key terms in management; it is the foundation for accounting. With the intensive dissemination of Western management models and ideas after 1989, it is also one of the most commonly used words in management education and consulting. Most of the existing courses and textbooks in Poland can be classified as mainstream messages, where the reflexivity about the sense words carry is minimal, and the consideration of moral and emotional effects that ideas have on the Polish cultural context is not overwhelming. As I became interested in the word ‘control’ the meaning it carries, its emotional side and the context it is embedded in, I decided to collect stories people tell about ‘control’.
