Analysis of the data suggests that control systems are important levers used to manage both evolutionary change. In situations of strategic change, control systems are used by top managers to formalize beliefs, set boundaris on acceptable strategic behavior, define and measure critical performance variables, and motivate debate and discussion about strategic uncertainties.
