The Characteristics of the Management Control System in Production Cooperatives
This paper presents the specificities of the management control system (MCS) in cooperatives. It explores the characteristics of the MCS in these dual-identity organizations to verify the existence of a convergence with the practices of private companies. A questionnaire-based exploratory study helps to distinguish the tools and methods of management control in production cooperatives. We demonstrate that the cooperatives use an MCS similar to that of small businesses but with a developed reporting system.
In multilevel organizations,integration of numerous application systems must be based on sharing of user data,including information of organization and staff.For this purpose,a solution was proposed,in which user data sub-centers were introduced into branches of organizations and user data were transferred through complex interfaces based on Web service.The solution was put in productive practices of multilevel organizations to synchronize and distribute user data.It is indicated that the solution can make it sure to share user data reliably,entirely and timely in multilevel organizations.
