| Tiivistelmä: | A failed change initiative, the implementation of economic value added, EVA is examined in an in-depth case study of a major UK retailer (RetailCo, a pseudonym). This change initiative is located within inter-professional competition between on the one hand the finance managers and on the other hand the buyers and merhcandisers in RetailCo. Finance managers sought to strengthen their professional jurisdiction and enhance their financial and symbolic rewards by imposing stricter controls over buyers and merchandisers, which the latter resented as an undesirable intervention into their work practices and mobilized their influence and work knowledge to ensure the abandonment of EVA. |
