Abstract
Abstract This paper examines the relationship between strategy and MCS over time to study whether MCS changes when there is a change in strategic typology. This was achieved through the use of a questionnaire, supplemented with documentation review and interviews, in a public sector organization that had experienced a strategic change. The results showed that, as strategy changed, the MCS also changed. There was a significant increase in the use of both formal and informal control mechanisms over the period examined, which is consistent with Simons (1987) . Furthermore, the manner in which some controls were used became more interactive.
