A case study of a management control system in a Japanese MNC in Singapore from an organisational perspective

Abstract

The purpose of this project is to investigate the management control systems adopted by Japanese Multinational Corporations (MNCs) in Singapore from an organisational perspective. Specifically, the aim is to see how Japanese MNCs, which traditionally employ a form of control by organisational culture, fares in a new environment. Management and control in MNC’s can pose great problems because of geographical distance and cultural differences across the countries.
