I sistemi di programmazione e controllo

[Autom. eng. transl.] Both in the literature and in the corporate "practice", the programming and control systems are experiencing a period of substantial rethinking. To better understand (and follow) this evolution, however, it is essential to develop a non-superficial knowledge of the logics and tools that have made a management activity really capable of overcoming the limits of a style of day by day type direction. What are programming and control systems and what are they used for? What contribution can they make to the business management activity? How, in particular, can they support short-term decision-making processes? How to design and develop an analytical accounting system? How to develop a corporate budget? What techniques can be used to verify the effective ability of the company to proceed in the "right direction"?
