Le contrôle de gestion est devenu une discipline académique et un domaine de recherche. Mais, dans le même temps, ses présupposés fondateurs ont donné lieu à critique. Des tentatives de rénovation se sont succédées dans la pratique, alors que la conception classique héritée de Fayol et confortée par la théorie économique néoclassique se trouvait confrontée à une approche inspirée par H. Simon, mettant en évidence le rôle du contrôle de gestion comme vecteur d’apprentissage et d’émergence des stratégies. Enfin, l’apparition des ERP tend à accélérer la prise de conscience de l’écart entre le processus de contrôle et le rôle qu’y joue le contrôleur, un rôle appelé à changer profondément.
The homogeneous sections method prescribed by the Plan comptable general (the French national accounting plan) since its origin is commonly attributed to the influence of the Rimailho Report (1928, in its final version). An in-depth analysis of the processes and management systems Rimailho set up, described in minute detail in his major works, has led to the belief that he was the pioneer of a certain type of the activity-based costing method. But other aspects of his work are far more interesting. With Rimailho, accountancy plays a role which is closely linked to his political and social convictions. Rimailho's management accounting appears as the strategic tool in a type of corporate regulation involving organizational slack, possible in a defender 's strategy deployed in a specific competitive and technological environment. Rimailho's organization does not fit into today's standard typologies (Anthony, Woodward, Ouchi, etc.). It is an appropriate challenge for researchers in accounting and management control.Homogeneous Sections, Activities, Organizational Slack, Management, Accounting, Performance Measurement, Asymmetric Information,
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
