Aligning an organization’s goals and strategies requires specifying their rationales and connections so that the links are explicit and allow for analytic reasoning about what is successful and where improvement is necessary. This book provides guidance on how to achieve this alignment, how to monitor the success of goals and strategies and use measurement to recognize potential failures, and how to close alignment gaps. It uses the GQM+Strategies approach, which provides concepts and actionable steps for creating the link between goals and strategies across an organization and allows for measurement-based decision-making. After outlining the general motivation for organizational alignment through measurement, the GQM+Strategies approach is described concisely, with a focus on the basic model that is created and the process for creating and using this model. The recommended steps of all six phases of the process are then described in detail with the help of a comprehensive application example. Finally, the industrial challenges addressed by the method and cases of its application in industry are presented, and the relations to other approaches, such as Balanced Scorecard, are described. The book concludes with supplementary material, such as checklists and guidelines, to support the application of the method. This book is aimed at organization leaders, managers, decision makers, and other professionals interested in aligning their organization’s goals and strategies and establishing an efficient strategic measurement program. It is also interesting for academic researchers looking for mechanisms to integrate their research results into organizational environments.

This book provides an exhaustive view of China’s Management Control Systems (MCS), examining the development of theory and practice and presenting a framework that integrates China’s unique enterprise regulations, corporate culture and managerial mindset into management control systems. Readers will discover important themes and the evolution of theory in MCS, including discussions of frameworks and the links between management control and economics, management, accounting, cybernetics and system theory. The author explores detailed elements of MCS then introduces new ideas and methods through four general control models and ten critical elements. Readers will discover a view of management control in various different types of enterprise, from special enterprises and small to medium enterprises to non-profit organizations. The standards for enterprise management control are explored and Western theory and examples are given.  "Professor Zhang’s work not only progresses the theoretical understanding of this topic but also constitutes a practical guide for corporate management teams to develop and execute their own internal control strategies. Its research depth, academic influence and social benefits are distinguished in its field… (it) promotes the development of cross-border academic and corporate dialogues and collaborations on this subject." - Yuanlue Fu, Professor of Management Accounting and Corporate Finance, Associate Director of the Center for Accounting Studies of Xiamen University,China. "Professor Zhang’s insightful introduction to the theoretical development and practice of MCS in China since the start of economic reforms is very useful reading for scholars and practitioners in Western countries who want to gain a better understanding of those issues. Moreover, this book makes Chinese scholars’ achievements in management control research more accessible to the international research community. The new ideas and methods, such as the four models and ten elements of MCS, are refreshing and offer insightful comparisons with Western examples." - Utz Schäffer, Professor of Management Accounting, Director of Institute of Management Accounting and Control (IMC), WHU–Otto Beisheim School of Management, Germany.

The book Soft Computing for Business Intelligence is the remarkable output of a program based on the idea of joint trans-disciplinary research as supported by the Eureka Iberoamerica Network and the University of Oldenburg. It contains twenty-seven papers allocated to three sections: Soft Computing, Business Intelligence and Knowledge Discovery, and Knowledge Management and Decision Making. Although the contents touch different domains they are similar in so far as they follow the BI principle “Observation and Analysis” while keeping a practical oriented theoretical eye on sound methodologies, like Fuzzy Logic, Compensatory Fuzzy Logic (CFL), Rough Sets and other softcomputing elements. The book tears down the traditional focus on business, and extends Business Intelligence techniques in an impressive way to a broad range of fields like medicine, environment, wind farming, social collaboration and interaction, car sharing and sustainability.
