The coexistence of controlling and other management methods

The aim of the article was the analysis of the relations of the coexistence of Controlling and other management methods (Benchmarking, BPM, BPR, BSC, Competency-based Management, CRM, ERP, KM, LM, Outsourcing, Six Sigma, TQM). The complexity and dynamics of modern management systems in fact determine the simultaneous and sequential application of many concepts and methods of management. Controlling is a comprehensive method of interdisciplinary character which is the integrating plane for many methods and techniques. The coexistence of Controlling with other management methods depends on the type of relationship between Controlling and these methods. In the main, however, the coexistence should be beneficial for an organisation. The theoretical views on the relations of Controlling and other methods have thus been empirically verified in the analysis of differences in the assessment of a number of effects of using the selected management methods in pairs with Controlling as well as separately (business, efficiency, management, social and environmental effects) were investigated. One-Way ANOVA was used for a sample of 167 Polish organizations.
