- Title
International Management Control in Multinational Corporations.
- Authors
Beechler, Schon
- Abstract
This article examines the issue of international management control by exploring how the managements of Japanese multinational corporations keep their geographically dispersed operating units around the globe working together towards a set of organizational objectives. First, the article describes a general theoretical framework which attempts to answer two fundamental questions concerning organizational control: (1) when will control be exercised by management? and (2) in situations where control should be exercised, what kind of control will be used? The propositions derived from this theoretical framework are tested in a study which examines how seven of the nine "electronics giants" in Japan control their transactions with their overseas subsidiaries in Southeast and East Asia.
