Internal Administrative Control: Its Applicability to the Marine Corps.
Abstract
This thesis presents a theoretical development of a definition of administration control and its applicability to the Marine Corps. The authors conclude that: (1) administrative controls are those predetermined controls that give purpose, direction, and meaning to an organization; (2) administrative controls are reflected in three dimensions: first, as organization controls; second, as operating controls, and, third, as information system controls; and (3) administrative controls are inseparable from management controls. The authors recommend: (1) expanding command/management input in the design of management information systems to improve their effectiveness; (2) increasing tour lengths for commanding officers to permit the effective implementation and operation of a management control program; (3) courses of instruction for all managers at all levels; and, (4) procedures be developed to ensure the possible participation of senior management in creating a positive control environment.
