The Teatro alla Scala in Milan is playing a position of primary artistic interest in the field of national and international Opera and Drama. This paper aims to analyze the control system adopted by this Institution in order to develop some remarks about the relevance of management control system in Italian cultural organizations. In the past, in these realities the incisive public presence has often hindered the development of such managerial processes. The research has been carried out through a deductive quality methodology. This means that, empirical research has been realized later than the study of the literature on the topic. The case study has been carried out by submitting an interview to the responsible of Management Control. The empirical investigation has led us to develop some observations about management control organizational functions in the Opera houses. The paper identifies the key factors influencing the role of performance measurement system.

The Subject

This chapter presents a Portuguese company of the information technologies industry that did an internationalization process and has implemented a management control system with a very interesting complexity level and that, in reality, crosses the theory present in the different bibliographical references on the subject, with the experience and business practice of its management. Such management practices were so helpful that, in a short period, the company could internationalize its activity and turnover went from 10 million euros to 60 million euros, becoming a reference of its industry in Portugal. It should be noted that the case study was developed through the triangulation of different information sources, such as interviews and meetings, direct observations of management control practices, as well as consultation of documents and internal reports. The authors characterize the company and its evolution, national and international, as well as the management control system implemented with reference to the instruments developed in the previous chapters.

This paper aims to discuss the concepts and methodological issues of enterprise risk management (ERM). The case study of company A shows that ERM has been implemented and integrated with management control as a means of monitoring its subsidiaries. First, ERM system was implemented through comprehensive review of corporate risk policies, risk management processes, roles and responsibilities, and risk culture. Second, company A integrated ERM with the existing management control system in order to evaluate the risk underlying the current management activities. Finally, ERM implementation was expanded to all subsidiaries so that each business unit would be delegated for its own risk management. This paper provides insight on the process how group-level internal auditors can use ERM as a tool to manage risk of subsidiaries, thereby filling the gap between academic research and practice. This successful ERM adoption case can be used as a guideline for other organizations, which plan to adopt ERM with reduced costs and improved processes.

The Relationship

The relationship between management control system (MCS) and strategy has been widely discussed in literature but traditional studies on the fit between MCS and strategy assume that MCS must be designed to conform with a previously welldefined strategy. In this paper we adopt the idea that strategy is a continuous process, intertwined with daily business practice, and that strategy and MCS are mutually dependent; both these elements should be considered when designing a MCS. Through the analysis of a case study, we investigate how MCS affects firm's ability in strategy exploration and firm's strategy evolution. We claim that MCS design must be periodically revised in order to seek a balance between its ability to support exploration of new strategic directions and its capacity to allow the exploitation of previously defined strategies.
