Management Control Function

by Robert N. Anthony

Anthony defines management control as the process by which managers influence members of the organization to implement corporate strategies. Relationships among strategic planning, management control, and task control are outlined, but the book's primary focus is on the system that facilitates management control. Areas covered the influence of corporate structure and culture on management control systems; the process of controlling ongoing operations; the management control of products; the design and installation of information systems.
