About the course
The course gives insights into management control (MC), including quantitative and qualitative means of control such as budgeting, performance measurement, incentive systems and corporate culture. The course focuses particularly on the philosophies behind the methods and their effects. The pedagogical idea is to use illustrations and examples to help you apply theories to practice. The pedagogical clarity will also be strengthened through the contrasting of different MC philosophies.
For exchange students: As this course is part of a Master's track, it cannot be taken on its own but must be taken with other course/s in the same track during the same semester.
