All of this knowledge and these tools are placed within their legal, economic, social, and organizational context, inviting readers to reflect on the development and use of management information. Each chapter is followed by original case studies and corrected exercises, as close to reality as possible. Contents: Setting the Tension: Modeling and Ensuring Coherence; Setting the Tension: Decision-Making and Ensuring Operational Control; Implementing and Motivating; Management Control in Specific Contexts; Research Questions in Management Control.
