Production
responsibility Centre and Productivity Information: An Integrated Approach for
Resolving Incongruences in the Public Agricultural Corporations in the Sudan:
the Case of Gezira Scheme
Abdalla Khidir Abdalla
Abstract: This
paper, recognising the little attention that productivity measures have received
at the organisation level and the significant attention which productivity has
received at the more macro level (i.e. public policy level), is making a
contrast by showing that productivity measures are found at a level which is
more macro to the organisation in a developing country (i.e. the Gezira Scheme
in Sudan).
The paper also shows that the joint consideration of productivity and financial
measures through an integrated approach for designing control and information
systems in the Public Agricultural Corporations (PACs) in the Sudan would
resolve (or at least minimise) the in-congruencies existing between the
different parties involved and between macro policy productivity measures and
what is going on in organisations or firms.
The practicability and usefulness of the integrated approach is examined with
regard to the Gezira Scheme in Sudan.
