Power and the Design and Implementation of Accounting and Control Systems (Classic Reprint) - Softcover
Synopsis
This fascinating exploration into the intricate relationship between accounting and control systems and the dynamics of power within organizations exposes their mutual influence and impact. By delving into the use of accounting and control systems in decision-making, altering organizational performance, and conferring legitimacy, the author uncovers how these systems can become powerful tools for shaping intraorganizational power distributions. The book argues that to ensure successful implementation, accounting and control systems should align with other power dynamics, organizational cultures, and paradigms. Through insightful case studies, the author demonstrates that resistance to these systems often stems from conflicts between existing power structures and proposed changes. This book provides a compelling framework for comprehending the interplay between accounting and control systems and organizational power, offering invaluable insights for both researchers and practitioners seeking to navigate the complexities of organizational change and effectiveness.
