| Abstract: | The paper investigates the role of accounting calculations in constructing shareholder value within the context of organizational transformation in work organization. A longitudinal case study is used, and the paper relates innovation and experimentation in new forms of work organization to a drive for shareholder value creation. The discourse of shareholder value creation and the development of related accounting metrics is interpreted as a hegemonic move that is central to the reassertion of capital. This development is contended symptomatic of a shift towards a more 'despotic' mode of capitalist reproduction. |
