Project Summary:
Management control systems are mainly used to reduce the uncertainty in highly uncertain environments such as joint ventures, providing evidence on how management control systems are used and contribute to improve organization's performance.
Project Description:
Each component of the management control system is used mainly for one purpose, either to coordinate (budgeting, cost allocations and transfer prices) or to monitor (performance measurement and governance mechanisms). Besides considering other factors, the more intensively management control systems are used and the more they are used to coordinate the better the organization's performance, but for high levels of performance the coordination uses start to decrease in favor of monitoring uses, indicating that there exists an optimal balance between them that maximizes the performance.
