Abstract

Describes management's attempts to design and install a sophisticated planning and control system in an international company as it changes its strategy. Issues of strategy implementation, accountability, and performance measurement are at the core of the analysis, as managers confront difficulty and resistance in using the system for "strategic, operational, and financial" control.
