Organization scholars have long acknowledged that control processes are integral to the way in which organizations function. While control theory research spans many decades and draws on several rich traditions, theoretical limitations have kept it from generating consistent and interpretable empirical findings and from reaching consensus concerning the nature of key relationships. This book reveals how we can overcome such problems by synthesising diverse, yet complementary, streams of control research into a theoretical framework and empirical tests that more fully describe how types of control mechanisms (e.g., the use of rules, norms, direct supervision or monitoring) aimed at particular control targets (e.g., input, behavior, output) are applied within particular types of control systems (i.e., market, clan, bureaucracy, integrative). Written by a team of distinguished scholars, this book not only sheds light on the long-neglected phenomenon of organizational control, it also provides important directions for future research.

This timely Research Handbook explores the functions and systems of organizational control, which are crucial for organizational success. In light of rapid and disruptive change that has eroded established knowledge of best practices, leading scholars assemble new ideas as to how to combat these emerging challenges. Chapters analyze various key research agendas relating to organizational control, including configurational structures, technology, new work environments, and systems for ascending organizational forms. Adopting a transdisciplinary perspective, contributors explore a diverse range of subject areas, such as holistic orientation, multi-outcome emphases, and generative spirit. The Handbook provides valuable insights on the dynamic external environments faced by organizations today, highlighting areas for future research, such as how AI and datafication can be managed to respect human agency and societal legitimacy. The conceptual contributions, exploratory quantitative research, and qualitative case studies presented in this Research Handbook are of great benefit to scholars and students of business, particularly those in the disciplines of management and organizations, management information systems, and managerial accounting.
