Key words: Financial management, management control systems as a package, mechanic and
organic management control, commercial real estate companies, situation factors
Purpose: The purpose of the study is to develop knowledge of how commercial real estate
companies in Sweden are governed and to find out whether they are characterized by mechanic
or organic control.
Methodology: The thesis adopts a qualitative method in the form of a comparative study where
semi-structured interviews were conducted with managers from four commercial real estate
companies in Sweden. The interview material has been presented in an empirical section and
then analyzed on the basis of the framework management control as a package as well as
mechanic and organic management control.
Theory: Management control systems as a package by Malmi and Brown has been used as a
starting point for understanding what corporate governance looks like from a holistic
perspective and through different elements. Thereafter, mechanic and organic management
controls have been used as an analysis tool to compare companies and come to a conclusion
whether they are more mechanic or organic controlled.
Result: The management control within the studied commercial real estate companies is
largely organic with elements of mechanic management control. In addition, the study finds
that the elements of Malmi and Browns package influence and complement each other.
Conclusions: The study has contributed knowledge about how commercial real estate
companies in Sweden are governed, both from a holistic perspective and from a perspective
that explains the governance based on different elements. (Less)
