Abstract:
To what extent are competing notions of risk captured by management control systems (MCS) in public service organizations (PSOs)? The authors revisit the conceptual underpinnings of the levers of control framework and argue that it offers a point of departure for theorizing the dynamic interplay between risk and control in PSOs. At both intra- as well as inter-organizational levels, the framework can reflect competing notions of risk and uncertainty, offering valuable insights for practice.
