This book ´Controlling - A critical success factor in a globalized world´ shows how the Objectification orientated Controlling approach can ensure the successful management of a company in a challenging and competitive environment, which is characterized by increasing complexity, dynamic, and uncertainty. The Objectification orientated Controlling approach outlined in this book is based on the philosophy of a service provider who supports managers and decision-makers. This idea is well-reflected in the term ´business partner,´ which shows that only management and Controlling together are able to ensure the success of a company. The author combines scientific and practical evidence to deduce the Objectification orientated Controlling approach. The challenges of Globalization, a stringent alignment at company value, as well as the Objectification approach are the main building blocks. Based on these criteria for success, the Controlling approach can be individually shaped for each specific company. This book is aimed at students and practitioners who want to learn more about improv-ing business using a state-of-the-art support function, Controlling.
