Research Handbook on Performance Measurement for Management Control

Performance measurement is a critical dimension of management control theory and practice, and one of the most widely researched areas of management accounting. The Research Handbook on Performance Measurement for Management Control provides the foundation for the next generation of research in management accounting on performance measurement by canvassing the contemporary landscape of performance measurement research and outlining future research opportunities.

Contributions from leading scholars provide insights into key contemporary issues such as the use of algorithms in management control, new and innovative data sources and technologies that impact both performance measurement itself, and the way we research it. Contributors also address the way sustainability imperatives impact on performance measurement practice and the design of research for impact. The Research Handbook provides thoughtful reflection on existing bodies of performance measurement research and promising avenues to advance knowledge.

This Research Handbook is an excellent resource for scholars of management accounting. PhD students and junior faculty will find it invaluable for the comprehensive coverage of current thinking and the future research opportunities identified in every chapter.
