Management Accounting is a diverse field both in terms of its objects of interest, the perspectives applied in understanding them and ways of studying them. This EDEN aims to provide a foundational overview of the field of Management Accounting, together with an understanding of the appropriate notions of rigour and relevance that contribute to the production of management accounting knowledge across diverse research streams and approaches that are required for initial research proposals.

This seminar is proposed jointly with the 6th Conference on New Directions in Management Accounting.
