What is my theory? How do I choose a theory? Why and how should I
employ a particular method for collecting the empirical data? These
basic questions concern everyone involved in research. A research
study can be a voyage of discovering or choice of theoretical
perspective as well as gathering empirics or facts on a problem or
situation. This book provides a good guideline as to why and how to
choose a particular theory or method to study an organisational
phenomenon such as accounting. All the chapters provide both
retrospective and contemporary views by scholars in the field. Each
chapter documents the latest developments and research in
accounting and control systems and provides valuable insights into
methodological perspectives in accounting research. This second
edition has also introduced a number of new chapters covering
strategy-management control as practice, grounded theory approach,
institutional logic and rhetoric, social interaction theory,
actor-network theory and practice theory. The book is primarily
intended for research students and academic researchers. It can
also be used for undergraduate Honours course as well as
postgraduate accounting and business methodology courses. Research
organisations and consulting firms in accounting and business
fields may also find this book useful. The principal aims of this
second edition are (1) to update the chapters previously published
in 2006 and (2) to introduce new chapters documenting recent
developments in accounting research.
