Davila (U of Navarra, Spain), Epstein (Rice U., US), and Manzoni (INSEAD Global Leadership Centre, Singapore) present 17 papers from a September 2011 conference on Performance Measurement and
Management Control held in Nice, France; selected so as to provide a representative sample of the topics, research methods, and geographic diversity of the field. Following introductory
discussions of the role of performance measurement and management control in corporate governance, the papers are organized into sections covering performance measurements in traditional
fields, such as manufacturing, as well as emerging fields, such as sustainability and public sector management; performance measurement in interorganizational settings; the structure of risk
management around the world; management control systems as motivational tools; and new trends in governance, public sector, and nonprofit organizations. Annotation ©2012 Book News, Inc.,
