ABSTRACT

Chapter 4 showed a case where management accounting researchers were very intensively involved not only in development of accounting practices but in product development itself. In that chapter, the analysis concentrated on ways to gain insider, emic level access to the case company. This chapter will describe a case with some similarities, but this time our analysis will focus on the role of non-accounting interventions in management accounting research. This chapter discusses research extending over the period 2002–2008.
