"Management Accounting at the Hudson's Bay Company: From Quill Pen
to Digitization describes the 1670 to 2005 evolution of management
accounting at the longest surviving commercial company in the
world. This book was possible for the extraordinary reason that by
plan, and the nature of HBC's early business, the company retained
virtually all management accounting documents. Through the
viewpoint of management accounting, the book also tells the story
of Anglo-American evolution of double-entry bookkeeping for
managing companies. A study of 335 years may seem daunting until
recognizing that management accounting does not change often, and
changes are exciting, dramatic and consequential. Five significant
sets of management accounting changes were identified, each made
for significant strategic or more precisely for survival reasons.
Thus, the focus of this book is on the making and remaking of
management accounting to support survival strategy. A serious
lesson is that management accounting can be difficult to change and
without insightful managers, existing management accounting is
allowed to survive well beyond its usefulness."
