Handbook on Management Control in a Transforming Society

By connecting a range of research fields including digitalization, work, diversity, governance and risk, this Handbook provides an ambitious roadmap for the future of management control research, teaching and practice.The Handbook on Management Control in a Transforming Society is a vital read for scholars and students of management accounting and control, corporate governance, organizational behavior and human resources. It will also benefit educators and practitioners in adjacent disciplines such as finance, management accounting, and organizational design, and also in general management and consulting.
