The 1st edition of this book was published by Prof. Dr. Dr. h.c. mult. Péter Horváth, Professor Emeritus at University of Stuttgart and founder of Horváth & Partners, together
with associates from Horváth & Partners, and released in German-speaking countries
back in 1990. Since then, the book has continued to be developed further based on
the latest developments within corporate practice, cutting-edge scientific findings in
different management disciplines, and the very latest developments in IT. This edition
therefore replicates the state of the art in controlling. The book is targeted at controllers
and managers of larger companies, who wish to create a controlling system that complies
with both current as well as future company management requirements.
