William OuchiA conceptual framework for the design of organizational
control mechanisms (1979)Markets, Bureaucracies and Clans (1980)
Control consists to achieve cooperation among individuals who hold partially divergent objectives
3 sources of control: markets, bureaucracies, clans (possible combination)
Market control take place through competition : when organizations participate in free markets, prices and profits can be used to evaluate and control their performance
Bureaucracies rely on a combination of rules, procedures, documentation and surveillance to achieve control
Cultural values, norms and expectations provide the primary mechanisms of control to organizations that use clan control
