Produktbeschreibung

There is considerable national variation in the professionalization and status of the management accountant yet surprisingly little is known about the national contexts in which this role is performed. This book bridges this research gap. The first part explores management accountants in a range of different national contexts, providing country-specific information. The second part focusses on global developments, such as sustainability, the financial crisis, technology and changing roles. By combining local and global perspectives, this insightful volume provides an agenda for future research for scholars and advanced students in management accounting throughout the world.
