These factors consider the organisation’s team and reporting structure, level of support and commitment and the overall impact to the organisation.

The selection criteria may also include return of investment, risks and the time frame, PPM involves a strategic process that allows the decision makers’ to visualise and monitor the performance of each project by taking into account whether the project is performing or underperforming.

This cybernetic structure consisting of four subsystems (planning, operations, measurement and evaluation-reward) which are articulated by feedback and feed forward loops. Second element as the middle circle comprises the organization’s structure (its set of rules and their interrelationship). And the last element as the outer circle represents the organization (its value system, beliefs, assumptions, the patterned ways of thinking which are characteristic of the entity). The validity and implications of these ideas are examined in the context of the control systems of three organizations. The results suggest the need for a different orientation of the role that accounting and budgeting play in the control process as well as a broader concept of control itself.
