This book provides a starting-point from which to explore management control. By providing a wide-ranging discussion of the issues and institutional settings for this subject, it seeks to provide a resource which can be 'dipped into' on a flexible basis. Divided into three sections with different focuses, nevertheless each chapter is self-standing and can be amalgamated to suit reader preferences.
