Performance Measurement and Management Control

This course introduces you to the need for management control and how management control is enacted in practice by addressing productive and counterproductive effects of management control systems. Further, it focuses on financial result controls and thus on the management control practices frequently used to measure and incentivize financial performance in firms. 

The course combines practically-relevant insights with cutting-edge theoretical and empirical research on performance measurement and management control. For this reason, the course is organized as a lecture with integrated seminar. It includes the discussion of theoretical concepts, business cases, and research papers.

The registration for the seminar component is September 19 to 20th 2026, via the form that will be available on our website at that time.

Please refer to the information regarding the  winter term 26/27 for further details.
