Management Accounting and Control Systems: An Organizational And Sociological Approach

Management Accounting and Control Systems deals with the administrative devices which organisations use to control their managers and employees. Using an organisational and sociological approach, this landmark text sheds light on more than conventional legal and economic perspectives, rather, instead, focusing on how control systems are used to influence, motivate, and control what people do in organisations. The new Second Edition outlines nearly twenty frameworks for investigating and understanding MACS and includes four case studies that represent well thought out and effective control systems.
