Management Control Systems : A Tool for Startup Fashion Companies to Implement and Scale Sustainability Initiatives

Sammanfattning: The research adds to current management control system and textile and fashion management literature by developing a MCS framework which is specially targeting startups within the textile and fashion industry in order to implement and scale sustainability initiatives. The framework provides potential to impact and facilitate managers to foster sustainable development. Given the lack of research and the resulting lack of knowledge and understanding of sustainable development from a managerial perspective in the textile and fashion context, this research adds knowledge by examining fashion startups which find themselves at the development phase of MCSs.
