This paper traces the evolution of the Chinese shipyard management control
system. The paper starts with a presentation of the current control system in use in
Chinese shipyards. Next an explanation of how this control system evolved is offered
using the- institutional and resource dependency perspectives. From 1947 until 1980
when China produced ships for domestic use only, a resource dependency perspective
provides a good explanation of the shaping of the control system. When China shifted
to export production in 1981, however, it is necessary to shift to an institutional
perspective to present the most accurate portrayal of the control system's evolution.
Finally, the paper points out that the shipbuilding organization's goals have again
changed, and proposes that a resource dependency perspective best explains recent
control system changes. The paper also predicts this perspective to hold for future
control system development.
