Increasing Performance of Business Projects Through a Management Control Mechanism

Abstract

Entrepreneurship is growing rapidly in developing countries. One of the biggest concerns in entrepreneurship education is about ensuring that the entrepreneurship education functions properly. This study aims to investigate the way universities assess the functionality of the entrepreneurship education. This research uses a qualitative approach and case study strategy. In-depth interviews, documentation and observation are used as data collection methods. Research results suggest that the role of management control is crucial in the success of entrepreneurship education. Management control is not only useful for monitoring business development and supervising students in their attempt to run their business, it can also motivate students to improve the performance of their business.
