TL;DR: In this paper, the authors reviewed and evaluated existing perspectives on accounting change and discussed three examples of accounting change, and a number of theoretical issues relating to the understanding of accounting process of change are examined.
Abstract: Accounting systems change over time. However relatively little is known of the preconditions for such change, the process of change or its organisational consequences. Existing perspectives on accounting change are reviewed and evaluated in this article. Thereafter three examples of accounting change are discussed. Based on these cases, a number of theoretical issues relating to the understanding of the process of accounting change are examined. Emphasis is placed on the diversity of factors implicated in accounting change, the constitutive as well as reflective roles of accounting and the ways in which accounting change can shift the preconditions for subsequent organisational changes.

TL;DR: In this paper, an entrepreneur who needs to raise funds from an investor, but cannot commit not to withdraw his human capital from the project, is considered, and the possibility of a default or quit puts an upper bound on the total future indebtedness from the entrepreneur to the investor at any date.
Abstract: Consider an entrepreneur who needs to raise funds from an investor, but cannot commit not to withdraw his human capital from the project. The possibility of a default or quit puts an upper bound on the total future indebtedness from the entrepreneur to the investor at any date. We characterize the optimal repayment path and show how it is affected both by the maturity structure of the project return stream and by the durability and specificity of project assets. Our results are consistent with the conventional wisdom about what determines the maturity structure of long-term debt contracts.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors look at the now familiar idea of "New Public Management" in the light of previous efforts at managerial reform, arguing that NPM has proved a fairly durable and consistent agenda.
Abstract: This article starts by looking at the now familiar idea of ‘New Public Management’ in the light of previous efforts at managerial reform, arguing that NPM has proved a fairly durable and consistent agenda. Then the major criticisms of NPM within and outside the public service are reviewed, demonstrating the tensions and contradictions among the major criticisms. To endure, NPM must be capable of accommodating different poles of criticism by modifying its agenda, attempting to identify the areas where drawbacks in NPM methods are most salient. Finally, some future challenges for NPM are discussed: the prospect of outcomes outside the conventional distinction of traditional and modern public management styles; the risk of inappropriate cloning; and quasi‐constitutional issues about the core competencies of public sector agencies.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors examine the robustness of the regime of targets and terror to these assumptions using evidence from the English public health service on reported successes, problems of measurement, and gaming.
Abstract: In the 2000s, governments in the UK, particularly in England, developed a system of governance of public services that combined targets with an element of terror This has obvious parallels with the Soviet regime, which was initially successful but then collapsed Assumptions underlying governance by targets represent synecdoche (taking a part to stand for a whole); and that problems of measurement and gaming do not matter We examine the robustness of the regime of targets and terror to these assumptions using evidence from the English public health service on reported successes, problems of measurement, and gaming Given this account, we consider the adequacy of current audit arrangements and ways of developing governance by targets in order to counter the problems we have identified
