Finally, MCS influences the behaviour of organizational resources to implement organizational strategies. Keywords: Management , Control , Systems 1. Introduction To introduce this topic and understanding the importance of management control system we know that In the present globalised world, organisations need to use management control systems that go beyond the strategies that focus on acquisition of technology and logistics which are not sufficient to give the organisation sustained long-term competitive edge over its competitors. Management Control Systems (MCS) as defined by Anthony (cited by LangfieldSmith, 1997) is the process by which managers ensure that resources are obtained and used effectively and efficiently in the accomplishment of the organization s objectives . MCS is a system used in an organization which collects and uses information to evaluate the performance of the organizational resources that will eventually influence the behaviour of the organization to implement organizational strategies. This paper will look into issues within MCS such as transaction cost economics and transfer pricing. Also considered in this paper is a look of MCS tools and techniques, such as budgeting as a powerful control mechanism in organizations, business performance measurement systems as well...

Mintzberg’s response was that management and leadership are part and parcel of the same thing and shouldn’t be seperated in practice. He expressed the belief that the seperation of leadership from managament is utterly destructive, because managers who do not lead are boring and leaders who do not manage do not know what is going on. Whilst Mintzberg seems to make a very valid point and the fusion of leading and managing appears logical, it is undeniable that cenceptual differences exist between the term management, and the term leadership. Even without an accepted or definitive distinction...

...control techniques for this assignment. Management controls have always existed, in order to control the behavior of employees with the purpose of ensuring that organisational objectives are achieved. Many of these controls were accounting controls, such as budgets, standard costs, variance analysis etc. As organisations became more sophisticated, non financial controls were added. These controls included targets such as quality, waste, delivery lead-time, customer satisfaction etc. When other controls, such as those in respect of personnel, information systems, corporate policies, working practices etc. are added, the result is a system of management control, although often the components of the system lead to different behaviors. In his seminal work on the subject, Anthony (1965) defined management control as: “The process by which managers assume that resources are obtained and used effectively and efficiently in the accomplishment of the organisation’s objectives” His classic categorization of control was of three levels; strategic, management and operational which he saw as linked. In his work, management control was seen as the interface between strategic planning and operational control such that management control ensured that day-to-day operations were consistent with overall strategy and that strategy was implemented through day-to-day activities. Otley and Berry (1980) defined management control as monitoring activities and then taking actions in order to ensure...

...field, and is able to exercise a high degree of control or influence over others. (Definition of Leader, 2012) Leadership refers to the process of social influence in which one person can enlist the aid and support of others in accomplishment of a common task. (Chemers, M., 1997) It is the course of organizing a group of people to attain a common objective. A manager is a person who is in charge of a certain group of tasks, or a certain subset of a company. A manager often has a staff of people who report to him or her. (Definition of Manager, 2012) Management refers to process of getting people together to accomplish desired goals and objectives using available resources efficiently and effectively. It includes the processes of planning, organizing, staffing, directing and controlling an organization or effort for the purpose of accomplishing a goal. (Management, 2012) Paul Hersey and Ken Blanchard provided us with a clear and concise explanation of the difference between the two terms. These two are different concepts with overlap. Leadership is a broader concept on its own and is not a concept exclusive to or within management. According to them, management is considered to be a special kind of leadership in which the achievement of organizational goals is vital. Leadership is influencing the behavior of someone, whereas Management is setting up an intention and achieving that purpose of that intention. Leadership requires a follower and a leader has to outline...
