Abstract: Since management control was introduced to the act on public finances, a discussion has been held on the issue, also in this periodical. This regulation, which seems to be rather unclear, causes fears that management control, if misinterpreted and wrongly implemented in the administrative practice, may become a barrier to modernisation, especially with regard to opportunities to popularise a new attitude to conflicts in the public administration. The author of the article discusses the contemporary theory of dispute resolution and a simplified model of its application in the management practice, and then he presents management control in this light.
