Accounting, Organizations, and Institutions
Accounting has an ever-increasing significance in contemporary society. Indeed, some argue that its practices are fundamental to the development and functioning of modern capitalist societies. We can see accounting everywhere: in organizations where budgeting, investing, costing, and performance appraisal rely on accounting practices; in financial and other audits; in corporate scandals and financial reporting and regulation; in corporate governance, risk management, and accountability, and in the corresponding growth and influence of the accounting profession. Accounting, too, is an important part of the curriculum and research of business and management schools, the fastest growing sector ...

From Black Power to Black Studies
The black power movement helped redefine African Americans' identity and establish a new racial consciousness in the 1960s. As an influential political force, this movement in turn spawned the academic discipline known as Black Studies. Today there are more than a hundred Black Studies degree programs in the United States, many of them located in America’s elite research institutions. In From Black Power to Black Studies, Fabio Rojas explores how this radical social movement evolved into a recognized academic discipline. Rojas traces the evolution of Black Studies over more than three decades, beginning with its origins in black nationalist politics. His account includes the 1968 Third Wor...

The essays in this bi-annual series consist of original research and theory within the general sociological perspective known as symbolic interactionism.

Determinants and Consequences of the Use of Budgets
The alteration of the business environment has heightened the role of management accounting and control systems (MACS). Not only the design of MACS has gained increased relevance but also the ways in which MACS are used. Based upon empirical data from 69 German manufacturing companies of different industries testing the developed research model, the evidence reinforces the knowledge concerning budgets and their use and essentially bridges the gap in understanding the relationship between budgeting and strategy by revealing the positive effects formal MACS perform. This book is important reading for graduate students of business administration and executives with focus on budgeting management accounting and strategic management.
Politics of Public Money
Public money is one of the primary currencies of influence for politicians and public servants. It affects the standards by which they undertake the nation's business and it impacts on the standard of living of the nation's citizens. The Politics of Public Money examines the extent to which the Canadian federal budgetary process is shifting from one based on a bilateral relationship between departmental spenders and central guardians to one based on a more complex, multilateral relationship involving a variety of players. In this innovative study, David A. Good examines this shift in terms of a broader societal change from an 'old village,' conditioned by old norms of behaviour, to a 'new to...
