Integrating Change Management And Management Accounting Change

This book explores the evolving field of management accounting change (MAC), with a particular focus on the development, implementation, and continuous improvement of performance measurement systems (PMS). Moving beyond traditional sociological and institutional approaches, it draws on change management theories from fields such as organizational development and psychology to investigate the MAC process and the challenges associated with PMS implementation. By integrating perspectives from these disciplines, the book offers a comprehensive framework for understanding and facilitating management accounting change. Central to this analysis is Stouten et al.'s (2018) change management model, which is employed to interpret case study findings and identify key factors influencing the success or failure of PMS implementations. Emphasizing the importance of human dynamics, this book provides valuable insights and practical guidance for both academics and practitioners facing the complexities of MAC and PMS implementation.
