The study has two parts: Part I discusses the conditions under which the management practices of the respondent enterprises constitute generally effective systems of management control. Part II consists of case studies of ten Chinese-Filipino enterprises representing business of different types and sizes (as indicated by gross sales). These case studies describe in some detail the control systems and practices of the respondent enterprises. (University of the Philippines Press, 1996)
