Mellemvik, University of Nordland, NorwayThis timely and innovative
book focuses on budgeting control and ongoing beyond budgeting
trends and its consequences for the organization. Ensuring an
optimal balance between individual autonomy and management control
is a critical challenge for organizations operating in dynamic
business environments. Too much of the former leads to chaos, and
too much of the latter guarantees rigidity. This book explores the
tensions that arise in seeking the best possible balance between
these two dimensions. Resolving these tensions is a critical
challenge for achieving competitiveness. In order to examine
budgeting control and ongoing 'beyond budgeting', the book's
starting point is the Beyond Budgeting movement and what it implies
for a new approach to autonomy and management control. This
discussion is further supplemented with a broader approach to the
issue of control that spans issues such as self-control, time
control, transparency as control, ethical control and cultural
control. This book's innovative and explorative approach will be of
interest to students at master level, scholars and senior and
middle-level managers. HR departments will find it instrumental to
their work and practice. Contributors: S.D. Becker, T. Bjornenak,
