| Omschrijving | The course Management Control discusses various instruments and systems in the field of management accounting and management control. These instruments and systems can help managers to increase the sharing of goals between the employees, as well as their cooperation, so that the attainment of organizational goals is facilitated. They can also supply information for decision making and control in organizations. Cases and exercises provide the students with hands on experience concerning these instruments and systems. Although computational skills will play some role in the course, they are certainly not its main focus. Of greater importance are the problems of choosing the most appropriate instruments and systems in a specific situation and the issue how general management can use the accounting information and other information in their tasks of decision making and planning & control. Different factors can influence the role and function of management accounting and control in organizations. On the basis of the course book and various articles the control instruments and their organizational context are discussed. Short case studies will be used to learn about these issues. Students will work on exercises and cases in small teams. Each team will also give a presentation on a specific subject using additional literature and propositions, and/or write a short case report. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
