Business planning and control: integrating accounting, strategy, and people

Academic fields such as management accounting, business strategy, and decision support systems all deal with elements of business planning and control. However, university courses on these subjects may be taught at different stages and in different contexts with the result that the relevance of theory to the specific problem area of planning and control is not always obvious. Business Planning and Control provides an integrative approach to business planning and control by combining elements of: financial planning, management accounting and control, and decision support systems.
