| Tiivistelmä: | A variety of forms of management control are investigated in a large management consultancy company. The very high level of compliance with corporate objectives among employees is highlighted and singled out as a phenomenon worth exploring. The company exhibits a rich variety of various formal control devices focusing on financial issues as well as human resources. It is shown that these do not fully work according to intention and that their control effects do not comply that well with the bureaucratic-technocratic logic they rest upon. Technocratic control systems are instead identified as non-obvious source of socio-ideological control. |
