Management control in industry

Context and rationale

In today's context of globalisation and strong national and international competition, industrial companies must constantly adapt and reconfigure: change, responsiveness and the introduction of new products and processes have become constants (Gratacap and Médan, 2013). At the same time, they must optimise the use of their existing resources to produce ever more at lower cost.
