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.

Following introductory discussions of the role of performance measurement and management control in corporate governance, the papers are organized into sections covering performance measurements in traditional fields, such as manufacturing, as well as emerging fields, such as sustainability and public sector management; performance measurement in interorganizational settings; the structure of risk management around the world; management control systems as motivational tools; and new trends in governance, public sector, and nonprofit organizations. --Book News Inc.
