GBUS 810 - Management Planning and Control Systems


This course is intended to provide students with an understanding of the design and use of planning and control systems to facilitate the implementation of an organization’s strategy. Many organizations have discovered that having a great strategy is not enough if the right structures and processes are not in place to implement that strategy. A major challenge facing most organizations is to design systems that allow them to drive growth and profitability without subjecting the organization to long-term risk. This course examines the design and use of planning and control systems for implementing organizational strategy and achieving growth and profit goals. The primary focus in the course is on accounting-based controls that involve the use of financial measures and tools for allocating resources, measuring performance, and regulating inter-unit activity.
