Abstract
Abstract This article aimed to analyze how management control systems (MCSs) as a package have been used in a Portuguese agri-food company. There is a need for a more holistic view of the diversity of management controls in organizations, analyzing how the different management controls interact in specific organizations from different cultural contexts. This is a field study, which allowed the researchers to immerse themselves in the organizational context of an important Portuguese agri-food company, allowing a better understanding of the relationships between different types of management control. It helps raise awareness of the diversity of management controls and the importance of using them as a package in organizations. The study adopts the case study methodology, supported by information collected through documents and semi-structured interviews as methods of collecting and generating evidence. This study reinforces the importance of studying management control systems as a package in different organizational contexts, highlights the importance of the links between different types of management control, shows the dynamics that occur in all components of the theoretical model adopted, and gives visibility to the diversity of management controls that can be used in organizations.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
