German term or phrase: Steuerungsmoment

This is from an academic paper, which is essentially a literature review on the theme of "Neue Formen von Projektorganisation und Projektmanagement - dynamisch und offen":

Insbesondere im angloamerikanischen Raum finden Gegenentwürfe zum klassischen Projektmanagemen innerhalb von technischen **'Steuerungsmomenten'** eine Resonanz in der Weise, dass bei Berücksichtigung der technischen und sozialen Dimensionen Modellierungen einer Steuerung besonders gestaltet werden. Sie haben Entwicklung und Hervorhebung einzelner Aspekte im Modus des Planbaren und der Ausdifferenzierung von IT- Prozessen besonders hervor (Söderlund, 2002; u. a.).

An abstract (all I've found) of the referenced article is here: http://www3.interscience.wiley.com/journal/118911755/abstrac...

Thanks in advance for your useful insights!

technical control factors

Explanation:
A guess answer based on the following:

Moment factor
http://dictionary.reverso.net/german-english/Moment {2}

It is argued that time–based controls set a global time for the project.
(sourced from the URL provided by the asker for the English abstract of the article).

Where the aim is to achieve a balanced set of short term and long term outcomes, an emphasis should be placed on tight execution and rich information sharing. In other words a willingness for project management to keep close control, but at the same time listen to others and have confidence to take action when appropriate. But whilst the technical control factors lend themselves to a strong degree of measurement, other control factors had to be assessed differently than through traditional quantitative scales.

Thanks Jennifer for the excellent answer. The paper you reference seems to be on a very similar topic and think factor fits well here.

technical control moment

Explanation:
"New forms of project organization and project management - dynamic and open":

Especially in the Anglo-American sphere, counterdrafts to classic project management within technical **'control moments'** have found a response in such a way that, taking into consideration technical and social dimensions, control modeling can be specifically designed. These counterdrafts have specifically detailed the development and highlighting of individual aspects in the planning and differentiation mode of IT processes.

Notes to answerer

Asker: Thanks for the detailed answer. Unfortunately, I'm not sure this fits here. The references to the mechanical term 'moment' you supply do not seem to fit the context of management theory.
