| Course contents : | This course deals with the main techniques used in efficient management control systems and shows how they allow to encounter the three main objectives of such an efficient system : the coordination of resources, the motivation of stakeholders and the strategic management of resources. A special attention is awarded to the contingent perspective that characterizes most management control systems. The impacts of industry, strategy, age and activity are deepened, by using both scientific papers and extended case studies. Two themes are successively considered : * Information for planning, control and performance measurement * Cost management and strategic management accounting | |||||
