Synopsis

Bringing together an internationally known group of scholars of management and accounting under the editorial direction of Yuji Ijiri, this volume explores new approaches to the science of management. The essays are grounded in general management theory. However, at the same time, they have a strong orientation toward practical applications. Together they provide a rigorous foundation for further creativity and innovation in management practice and management science.

The volume is divided into seven sections. The first sets forth new approaches to accounting and control. This is followed by an examination of computer and decision support systems. The third section looks at resource management--human, economic, and financial; while the fourth highlights new approaches to organization design. Part five deals with industry and economy studies. Parts six and seven provide methodological contributions to the science of management. Together the essays provide a rigorous foundation for further creativity and innovation in actual management practice and management of science. This volume will be of interest to scholars of business management and accounting as well as practitioners in these areas.
