Abstract: | An organisation's accounting system can be changed by a heterogeneous actor-network of local and global actors and actants. The role of boundary that were able to stabilise and mediate diverse interests is focussed. Five types of boundary objects were identified - data repositories, visionary objects, ideal type objects, coincident boundaries and standardized protocols. |
