Abstract

The article aims to understand to what extent competencies and skills in management control are actually used. We lean on a conceptual frame on management controllers from literature plus works in marketing and human resources management. A survey towards about 148 public secondary schools' headmasters, which is our field of investigation, lead us to draw four profiles. We mobilize the hierarchical classification method of date. Our results confirm partially the previous works on management controllers competencies (Ducrocq et al. 2012) and lighten various profiles of headmasters in terms of management control competencies: technical controllers, advisor controllers and business partner identified in management controllers literature. A profiling of public managers is proposed regarding management competencies actually used.
