Abstract: | The author presents a case study of management accounting change in a company that once a highly diversified conglomerate, implemented a new strategy of product marjet focus combined with a more multinatinal scope. The article illustartes how the drive for a new organizational identity in turn catalyses shifts from predominantly financial-oriented control mechanisms to 'fresh' control mechanisms that implied considerable change in management accounting practice. |
