Purpose – Seeks to endorse the management control system taxonomy by Robert Simons to explore whether, how and why different approaches to management control are more intensely employed: in different phases of the radical innovation process; and in innovation projects showing different degrees of radicalness. Moreover, it aims to discuss the influence exerted by some contextual variables. Design/methodology/approach – Case studies concerning four innovation projects (two radical in nature and two incremental)implemented by two companies operating in the home automation industry in Italy were conducted.Article type: Research paperISSN: 1460-1060Reference: 38AY059
