Morphology
The noun phrase 'management control' literally denotes the control exercised by management — i.e., the procedures and processes managers use to direct, monitor, and evaluate activities. This meaning is compositionally derived from 'management' + 'control' and follows a common, cross-linguistic noun + noun/compound pattern, so a B1 learner who knows both constituents would likely understand it.
Etymology
Management control comes from the simple picture of a manager at a control panel with switches and dials. Think of management as the person in charge and control as the switches that let them 'guide and check the work', so the term means the internal ways managers direct and watch a company's activity.
