Linking Strategic Planning and Management Control.
Abstract
The purpose of this research is to review and integrate the literature describing the relationship between the strategic planning process and the management control process. The assumption made is that neither the strategic planning process for the management control process are achieved is isolation form each other. Elements or dimensions of each process must exist on a common ground and serve as integrating mechanisms between the two processes. The focus of the thesis is to identify the common elements or dimensions. The tool for implementing strategic planning decisions is the management control system. The management control systems will be effective is expectations are clearly communicated, managers are motivated toward the organization's goals, and the system effectively monitors how appropriate the strategies continue to be. Essentially, good management produces an integrated planning-controlling system in an organization. The literature suggests that those managers who understand how to integrate the planning and controlling processes produce better performance. (Author)
