2. Mutually Supportive Management Systems (MSM)
The effective operation of control systems is a
culmination of the mutual support of several systems,
most of all the formal and informal. They are however,
somewhat discursive in the description of the mutual
supportive systems. A more explicit conceptual
support for the concept is from the Mackenzie
framework of the Seven S.

6. A system is a prescribed way of carrying out any
activity or set of activities. The systems used by
management to control the activities of an
organisation are called the management control
system. Management control is the process by which
managers influence other members of the
organisation to implement the organization’s
strategies. Management control is facilitated by a
formal system that includes a recurring cycle of
activities.
