| Abstract: | The article analyses the effects of implementing an enterprise resource planning system (ERP) upon management control in two multinational organizations. How ERP was configured in each corporation created different forms of distance and relations between headquarters and the scattered subsidiaries. The construction of spatial and temporal separations (i.e. distance) and how they were understood and managed had profound effects on management control. |
