view of their control systems. One very basic question that has to be addressed is whether

to manage control from a centralized or a decentralized perspective.

26

Under a centralized



system, each organizational unit around the world is responsible for frequently reporting

the results of its performance to headquarters. Managers from the home office often visit

foreign branches to observe firsthand how the units are functioning.

BP, Unilever, Procter & Gamble, and Sony all use this approach. They believe central-

ized control is effective because it allows the home office to keep better informed of the

performance of foreign units and to maintain more control over how decisions are made.

For example, BP discovered that its Australian subsidiary was not billing its customers

for charges as quickly as were its competitors. By shortening the billing cycle, BP now

receives customer payments five days faster than before. Managers believe that they

discovered this oversight only because of a centralized financial control system.

Organizations that use a decentralized control system require foreign branches to report

less frequently and in less detail. For example, each unit may submit summary performance

statements on a quarterly basis and provide full statements only once a year. Similarly, visits

from the home office are less frequent and less concerned with monitoring and assessing

performance. IBM, Ford, and Shell all use this approach. Because Ford practices decentra-

lized control of its design function, European designers have developed several innovative

automobile design features. Managers believe that if they had been more centralized,

designers would not have had the freedom to develop their new ideas.

MANAGING CONTROL IN ORGANIZATIONS

Effective control, whether at the operations, financial, structural, or strategic level,

successfully regulates and monitors organizational activities. To use the control process,

managers must recognize the characteristics of effective control and understand how to

identify and overcome occasional resistance to control.

The “Leading the Way” feature



highlights one example of how to manage control.
