Dear readers,
it is undisputed: A difficult market situation pre-
vails worldwide. Enabling executives to identify
revenue potential, making important decisions
and being ready for action faster – these are
some of the controlling philosophies of the In-
ternational Controller Association (ICV). Good
controlling is the key for economic success.
Successful controllers make their enterprises
successful – that too is now undisputed.
Reports from 11 countries in this issue impres-
sively show how the ICV supports the control-
lers’ daily work with useful knowledge, expe-
rience exchange and networking, promotes
controllers’ careers and contributes to the
economic success of the company. I sincerely
thank all international authors for their interest-
ing and thematically varied contributions.
From different perspectives – expertise areas
and geographical – they show how the man-
agement support is realised by controllers as
a management’s business partner. Going far
beyond just providing figures, the controller
agenda includes issues such as motivation and
incentive creation as well as corporate, organi-
sation and culture strategy and also Big Data,
Industry 4.0 and Green Controlling.
I would be pleased if this issue awakens your
interest in the ICV, which celebrates its 40th
anniversary in 2015. Join the vibrant, versatile
and professional community association, which
is internationally recognised as the address for
controlling competence!
