1. 1. Management Accounting Fashion Setting - Studies on Supply-Side Actors in Sweden

   Författare :Elin Larsson; Göteborgs universitet; []
   Nyckelord :SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; beyond budgeting; lean; lifecycle pattern; management accounting innovation; management fashion; management fashion-setting process; supply side;

   Sammanfattning : The successful introduction of a number of new management accounting concepts or management accounting innovations (MAIs) over recent decades, such as activi-ty-based costing and the balanced scorecard, has had a significant impact on man-agement accounting practice. This thesis adopts a management fashion perspective on new management accounting concepts, which views the activities of supply-side actors such as management consultants, the business press, and conference organizers, as crucial to the success of management accounting concepts in a mar-ketplace of potential users.
