| Abstract: | In recent years, many organizations have moved towards a total quality management path in their quest for quality. Accounting researchers have become interested in understanding how accounting systems are implicated within a TQM environment. This paper reports on a case study of TQM adoption and changes in management accounting systems within a New Zealand construction company. The paper suggests among others that an organization may initiate TQM practices to promote institutional and quality culture rather than for purely technical reasons. |
