Abstract
The submitted paper covers two topics which are essential for SMEs and their competitiveness:
management control and knowledge management. On the basis of an empirical survey
among producing SMEs in Central-Germany the authors investigated knowledge deficits
concerning the domain of management control. German SMEs show numerous weaknesses
especially when it comes to prediction-oriented instruments of management control, e.g.
SWOT-, Scenario-Analysis or dynamic investment procedures. The authors developed a
suitable computer-aided learning tool to overcome these knowledge deficits and designed a
knowledge management concept to collectivize individually learned knowledge.
