Management Control Systems (Principles and Practice)-himalaya

MANAGEMENT CONTROL SYSTEM

The book discusses the concepts and facets of the design of control systems. As an inter-disciplinary approach, it draws relevant concepts and techniques from Management Science, Information System, Behavioural Science, Economics, Accounting, Mathematics, etc. Divided in to five units,

Unit I introduces the concepts of planning and control in the process of management. Unit II discusses the significance of information system in designing Management Control Systems. Unit III explains the tools and techniques of financial Control System. Unit IV discusses the conceptual foundations of Control phenomena and their applications to specific contexts such as service and non-profit institutions, monitoring of Projects besides control in functional areas of business and management. Unit V presents the relevant mathematical models such PERT/CPM/Net Work Analysis for Management Control
