Independent Study: Research Proposal on Management Control System


Here is my proposal for independent study related to management control system in Japan, yet it was rejected since my sensei considered it would take long time and I wouldn’t be able to finish it on time. Moreover, I wasn’t fluent in Japanese which is the main constrain for conducting this research plan.
