Описание: Management control is one of the key management functions, but has been rarely addressed in academic research. Amongst other reasons, this disinterest might be rooted in the typically negative connotation of the term 'control'. Academics rather prefer topics like strategy development, planning or organizational topics over control. Paradoxically, academics and managers both are highly interested and concerned with visions, strategies and plans; however, the majority of them fail or are not implemented successfully. One of the key reasons for this is the fact that the implementation and the subsequent control conducted by managers are often neglected. Managers could delegate the execution of plans and strategies to their subordinates; however, they have to take into consideration which activities can be delegated and how the progress should be controlled. Neither science nor practice has been able to provide acceptable answers to this open issue; thus there is a significant research gap. The research gap in the context of small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) is even larger - control here has been explored only in a considerably small number of studies. In the setting of small and medium-sized enterprises previous research has already demonstrated that management control is of greater importance than planning activities. This highlights the relevance of the research problem on how control should be executed in SMEs again.

Описание: Thomas Wittig aims at gaining additional insights into the crisis and turnaround process of SMEs, investigating both, the turnaround success and the impact of turnaround on the family role in family firms. Based on a specifically developed integrated conceptual turnaround model, the author collected a sample of 209 turnaround cases of German medium-sized companies from restructuring experts working for German banks. Employing a variety of carefully selected statistical analyses he identifies key factors for turnaround success and finds specific archetypes of crises and turnaround. The study concludes with an analysis of the impact of a successful turnaround on the family firms within his sample. Based on the study’s insights he provides both, recommendations for future research and a set of practical implications for all relevant stakeholders of a turnaround situation.
