-
Course primary objective is in introducing the Management Control (Controlling) as the up-to-date approach to management of the organization (enterprise, institution). To explain its changing role in management on its development in past decades from functional form, over reporting period, to integral concept of the management control of the organization. Both points of view - the recent theoretical bibliography and context of advanced practice are considered. The course focuses on key linkages among functional areas, key processes and activities in management control system. The course deals with managerial methods and other managerial tools to be applied in management of single entities of management control system and in their interrelated actions.

- Study Objective:
-
The key objective of the course is to present controlling (Management Control) as recent, very up-to-date, complex approach for management the enterprise (organization). It is based on respect to recent decisive managerial approaches as Process Control, Project Management, Activity Based Management, Cost Control, Value Based Management, Target Costing and others. The emphasis is on integration within the controlling system, including the integration among information systems, among managerial tools and among ex-post and ex-ante information. It respects recent top publications and papers. The cases are prepared and solved. The computer models are used for illustration the key principles and applications. The course further develop the knowledge and skills gained in previous courses namely from management and economic area. On the seminars the students are working in teams of 2-3 members. Tests are strictly individual.
