Abstract
- The present paper is part of the efforts made by the authors in recent years to develop strategic control and planning instruments in corporations using OR-techniques like system dynamics, control theory, and group multicriteria decision aid. A more general framework called ‘adaptive control methodology’ (ACM) combines all these techniques. It has been presented in several papers. The objective of the present analysis is to calibrate this instrument and to tune it to the corporate needs by analysing real-world applications. More specifically, several case studies have been investigated in large multinational organisations in the food sector. An acquisition case has been used for the calibration purpose. It is analysed in the paper from the ACM perspective to provide additional material for revisiting and improving the methodology. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
