Synopsis

Over the years, the performance measurement and management control conference has grown in number of participants, quality of presentations and reputation, and has attracted leading researchers in the field from North and South America, Europe, Asia, Australia, and Africa. The 2011 theme was directed at global issues, and included the significant challenges of managing and measuring performance within and across different organizational and geographical boundaries, using theoretical, empirical, analytical, experimental, and case-based research to address these topics. In addition to the three plenary sessions, this volume contains some of the exemplary papers that were presented at the 2011 conference; representing a collection of leading research in management control and performance measurement and providing a significant contribution to the growing literature in the area. The editors hope this book will continue the search for additional understanding and development in performance measurement and management control, and provide guidance for both academic researchers and managers as they work toward improving organizations.

Présentation de l'éditeur

In 2001, a group of researchers gathered in Nice, France to focus discussion on performance measurement and management control. Following the success of that conference, subsequent conferences were held in 2003, 2005, 2007, 2009 and 2011. This volume contains some of the exemplary papers that were presented at the 2011 conference. Over the years, the conference has grown in numbe of participants, quality of presentations, and reputation, and has attracted leading researchers in the field from North America, South America, Europe, Asia, Australia, and Africa. Though the conference has generally focused on performance measurement and management control and has included presentations on many facets of the topic, each year it also focuses on a particular theme of current interest. The 2011 theme was directed at global issues, which included the significant challenges of managing and measuring performance within and across different organizational and geographical boundaries. It also included the use of theoretical, empirical, analytical, experimental, and case-based research to address these topics. In addition to the three plenary sessions, this volume includes some of the other excellent papers presented at the 2011 conference. The contents of this book represent a collection of leading research in management control and performance measurement and provide a significant contribution to the growing literature in the area. This collection of papers also covers a representative set of topics, research settings, and research methods. The editors hope that this book will continue the search for additional understanding and development in performance measurement and management control, and provide guidance for both academic researchers and managers as they work toward improving organizations.
