“…Highly internationalized firms rely on setting goals and evaluating performance (Fee et al 2011;Kihn 2008;Mongiello and Harris 2006). Increasing geographical dispersion prompts the integration of non-financial controls (Kihn 2008;Mongiello and Harris 2006) and challenges management information systems not least due to the different locations of experts and operations across different time zones (Hyvönen et al 2008;Sheu et al 2004). In contrast to Gencturk and Aulakh's (1995) finding, that process control appears to be less relevant with increasing internationalization, Yu et al (2006) suggest that international experience has a positive effect on process control.…”

“…In the 1990s, aspects like headquarters nationality (e.g., Al Chen et al 1997;Coates et al 1992), cultural distance (e.g., Frucot and Shearon 1991;Hassel and Cunningham 1996) or environmental uncertainty (e.g., Borkowski 1999;Hassel 1991) were identified as determining factor. Newer studies confirm these factors (e.g., Dossi and Patelli 2010;O'Connor et al 2011) and complement internal contingencies like strategy (Busco et al 2008;Cools et al 2008;Seal 2001) or degree of internationalization (Dong et al 2008;Mongiello and Harris 2006;O'Connor et al 2011). Findings on output control are based on quantitative as well as qualitative studies.…”
