How Should Controllers See their Managers | WHU on Controlling

What makes managers tick? Are they rational decision makers, opportunists or just plain ordinary people? This video clip illustrates the different perspectives on managers and shows what controllers can learn from it.
This video was produced by Professor Utz Schäffer and Professor Jürgen Weber at the Institute of Management Accounting and Control (IMC) of WHU - Otto Beisheim School of Management.

Please also create a video called "How should Managers see their Controllers". In many cases the manager is an expert in the area of sales or production of the company. He is not trained in finances and therefore does not know what to do with a controller or how to utilize him or her properly. Books could be filled with ensuing problems. Please, train the manager in how to use and how to listen to his controller.

+AustrianRaina Thank you for your suggestion. We are focusing on controllers at the moment, but we will keep this in mind for the future.
