Formalization of management control systems: a study of companies in Croatia

Abstract: This study seeks to explain management control systems (MCS) design as a package of controls within a Croatian context. MCS was conceptualized in terms of four dimensions: cybernetic, reward and compensation, administrative and cultural controls to form a composite measure of MCS. The strength of the typology lies in the broad scope of the controls in MCS as a package rather than the depth of its discussion of individual systems. This is one of few research studies conducted in the field of MCS in Croatia. Emp… Show more

“…These findings are consistent with those obtained in contingency studies, which indicate that formalized and specialized structures are correlated with a sound MCS (Hutahayan 2020;Felício et al 2021). Dropulić and Rogošić (2014) examined the term of an MCS as a package of controls and indicated that most of Croatia's firms used formalized management control systems. Additionally, Shafie et al (2019) found that organizational structure significantly impacted the effectiveness of IC.…”

“…However, in one of the recent studies, the authors recommend that in developing countries there is a need to test the relationship between MCS and the performance of an organization (Bin-Nashwan et al 2017). Some of the prior studies recommend that there is a need to study MCS as a package in future studies (Dropulić, 2013(Dropulić, , 2014. Hence, this study examines the relationship between MCS as a package and organizational performance in developing countries that is Pakistan.…”
