This paper intends to demonstrate the relationships between the management control system (MCS) as a package elements with organizational performance. Many studies conducted and investigated the impact of the management control system (levers of control) and organizational performance and ignore the elements of MCS as a package. Pakistan textile industry faces a lot of issues regarding MCS as packages elements and due to these issue organizational performance reduced. Therefore, current study portray a framework that consists of some vital elements of control adopted from Malmi and Brown (2008) MCS as a package like planning control, cybernetic controls, rewards and compensation controls, administrative controls, and cultural controls which if empirically investigated would demonstrate the extent of by in Pakistan textile industry and how these controls generate better organizational performance. This suggests that the need for more explanation of Pakistani textile industry managers on the need to adopt better MCS practices as these practices lead to better organizational performance. Although the current paper is conceptual in nature thus, needs an empirical study to address in the light of resource-based view theory.

This study aims to examine impact of Management Control System  on organizational performance mediated by innovativeness. Contingency and Levers of Control  theories are used in this research with data collection and judgment sampling method on manufacturing companies. The data are represented by managers and assistant managers as respondents in West Java Area. The data is collected by post, electronic mail and direct survey from January 27, 2016 to March 2016. Result of this study indicates that management control system consisting belief system and interactive control system have a positive effect and significant on innovativeness and innovativeness ultimately have a positive and significant impact to organizational performance.

This study investigates the role of levers-of-control (LOC) based controlling system in the strategy formulation and MSME performance relationship in Samarinda. Through a survey conducted on the leadership (controller) of MSMEs in Samarinda City, this study evidenced the role of management control systems in the strategy formulation and MSME performance relationship. Of the 49 responses of MSME leaders, processed using PLS-SEM analysis, this study provided empirical evidence that the strategy formulation had a positive relationship with MSME performance. In addition, the indirect relationship between the two (mediation) through LOC-based management system supported the mediation hypothesis that the LOC-based management control system affects the strategy formulation and MSME performance relationship. In other words, it can be concluded that the management control system can increase the strategy formulation role that leads to MSME performance betterment.

With globalisation, there has been an intensification of investments by foreign groups in sectors strategic to their country of origin, such as some minerals. It is, therefore, crucial for a parent company to implement specific controls in its management control systems. In these circumstances, this study aims to determine the degree of control exercised by the parent company over a subsidiary in cultural and organisational dimensions. In addition, other exogenous factors (entities and external factors) influence this system. The results obtained showed that the parent company had an influence on the Management Control System (MCS) of the subsidiary and changed the way control was exercised there, but was unable to deal with macroeconomic instability, environmental and strategic uncertainty, and, consequently, the management risk involved in the extractive activity; in this case, for this subsidiary to operate a seam mine and not be aware of it since it is essentially a commercial, economic group. In addition to these effects on the organisational dimension and the cultural dimension, the shareholders were unable to integrate the subsidiary’s organisational and local culture, which generated some dynamic tension with the expatriate. In addition to the theoretical framework used, it was confirmed that the Flamholtz model is passive to implement in industries in general, particularly in the extractive industry. Finally, some final considerations were made about the management control system, in which the argument is reinforced that there must be empathy between the local staff and the expatriate, as a representative of the shareholders, in order for this system to be a vehicle for the effective transfer of knowledge between both parties, as well as to be supported by open innovation.

This study aims to determine the impact of permissiveness in the management control system. Management control system cannot be implemented because of permissiveness that gives looseness in management control system. Problems occur are in the form of attendance and attendance of employees, punishment is less applied with firm, tolerance in recruit employees. Writing this thesis is included in applied research where the author hopes with the writing of thisthesis can assist in providing recommendations and suggestions related to management control system in Sinar Motor. The research method used is by interview, observation and data analysis. At this writing will be discussed about the management system of the company's management Sinar Motor include action control, result control, personnel control and cultural control. However, the management control system has not been able to perform well due to permissive generated from the nature of the owner who did not bear, pity and trust. To minimize the problem, the authors provide recommendations in the form of a limitation of tolerance that can be done by the owner for each problem. With some recommendations are expected to improve management control systemUD Sinar Motor.

Objective: Considering the turbulent economic environment as well as the peculiarities of the operations conducted by cooperative entities, this study sought to analyze the connections between strategic risks and uncertainties and the use of the Management Control System (MCS) by credit cooperatives in Brazil’s South region.Method: This is a quantitative study, conducted as a survey with a sample of 57 credit cooperatives. The data was analyzed through Structural equation modeling, with partial least square estimation on SmartPLS 3.0 software. The strategic risk and strategic uncertainty constructs were analyzed in relation to their connection with Simons’ Levers of Control (1995), which contemplates the beliefs and boundary controls and interactive and diagnostic control systems. Furthermore, the connections between the four Levers of Control are also analyzed.Originality/Relevance: The study covers the antecedents (strategic risks and uncertainties) of MCS use, contemplating different compositions of type and class in credit cooperatives, taking previous studies into consideration, as well as covering a singular and pertinent region in the context of Brazilian credit cooperatives.Results: Strategic risk is not associated with the use of the Management Control System. Strategic uncertainty was proven to be the element that receives the most importance from managers in the process of using the four Levers of Control. Regarding the beliefs system construct, its importance is positively linked to the interactive control system, as also occurs with the connection between the interactive control system and the diagnostic control system.Theoretical/Methodological contributions: The study demonstrates the pertinence of the Levers of Control for credit cooperatives, inserted in the context of strategic risks and uncertainties.Social/management contributions: The findings bring about relevant contributions by proving that the balanced use of the four Levers of Control is relevant for promoting the strategic renovation of credit cooperatives, especially regarding strategic uncertainty.
