Description
This book contains 35 carefully selected and abridged versions of scholarly financial and managerial research articles by world-class
researchers ranging across a wide spectrum of the social, political and philosophical sides of financial and managerial accounting information
and practices to focus on accounting's wider role and impact on organizations and society at large.
While each article was substantially
culled in order to highlight its central findings and its unique approach, care was exercised to maintain the integrity of the authors'
work. The result is a collection of readily accessible research including: classics and seminal articles, a selection of more contemporary
articles, and recent articles that go beyond the conventional. Thus, the book pushes the boundaries beyond that of conventional accounting
thought and research.
This anthology will be of interest especially to graduate students since it provides a broad sampling of
influential research studies presented in a highly accessible format. It should also be of vital interest to sophisticated practitioners
who are concerned about the current state of the accounting world in the wake of the recent cascade of so-called "accounting scandals".
The hope also is to help bridge the gap between the practitioners' and the scholarly researchers' Worlds.
