Management control in Moroccan universities: between practices and implementation difficulties

Abstract

Among the recommendations that have been made for the Moroccan universities, as a public structure, is that of measuring university performance, which is becoming an indispensable condition, even vital for the success of reforms undertaken in this sector. Performance measurement presume the introduction of criteria of objectives and results by forcing universities to break with the traditional methods of management based on means to move towards those focused on results, and therefore to implement a management control system as a means of measuring performance.

This paper aims to develop a state of the art of management control in Moroccan universities. We will try to build an empirical knowledge of the situation of Moroccan universities in relation to their management control practices and in relation to some elements of the global environment.
