Health prevention services are characterized by a high complexity related to the inter-organizational and the environmental context in which they operate. Due to that, the measurement and assessment of their performance results challenging. In order to guide individuals and organizations behaviour toward common goals, is thus necessary to adopt formal and informal mechanisms that go beyond traditional planning and control condottools. To explore performance management in such contexts, this research suggests the adoption of management control as a "package" approach. Thus, the research’s objective is to understand how management control operates in the delivery of preventative services operating in inter-organizational environment. To do so, this study focuses on the cases of Genoa’s and Leghorn’s ports.

Keywords: Health prevention, border control, food control, management control, performance management.
