Book Game Theory in Management Accounting

Download or read book Game Theory in Management Accounting written by David Mueller and published by Springer. This book was released on 2017-09-21 with total page 453 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book demonstrates what kind of problems, originating in a management accounting setting, may be solved with game theoretic models. Game theory has experienced growing interest and numerous applications in the field of management accounting. The main focus traditionally has been on the field of non-cooperative behaviour, but the area of cooperative game theory has developed rapidly and has received increasing attention. Intensive research, in combination with the changing culture of publishing, has produced a nearly unmanageable number of publications in the areas concerned. Therefore, one main purpose of this volume is providing an intensive analysis of the intersection of these areas. In addition, the book strengthens the relationship between the theory and the practical applications and it illustrates the two-sided relationship between game theory and management accounting: new game theoretic models offer new fields of applications and these applications raise new questions for the theory.

Book Environmental Management Control Systems

Download or read book Environmental Management Control Systems written by Sophie Pondeville and published by . This book was released on 2013 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This study examines the role of contextual and strategic factors in the development of environmental management control systems in manufacturing companies. In particular, the authors test the roles of perceived ecological environmental uncertainty, perceived stakeholder pressures, and the degree of corporate environmental proactivity on the development of environmental management control systems. The main results from a survey of 256 manufacturing companies suggest that companies that perceive greater ecological environmental uncertainty are less inclined to develop a proactive environmental strategy, environmental information system, or formal environmental management control system. Market, community, and organizational stakeholders motivate environmental proactivity, as well as the development of different environmental management control systems. Regulatory stakeholders only encourage the development of an environmental information system.

Book Perceived Environmental Uncertainty

Download or read book Perceived Environmental Uncertainty written by Jansen Ryder and published by . This book was released on 2005 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The managerial issue being addressed in this research is perceived environmental uncertainty (experienced by corporate strategists) and its implications for strategy development processes at the strategic business unit level (or business-level strategy) across Barclays Bank PLC. The objectives of the research are achieved through: an extensive review of the strategy and uncertainty literature (Project 1); a series of semi-structured interviews with fifteen members of the Group Executive Committee at Barclays (Project 2); and the completion of 731 selfadministered questionnaires covering the seventeen strategic business units within the Barclays portfolio (Project 3). Through its findings, this research concludes that any link between perceived environmental uncertainty (at the corporate level) and strategy development processes (at the business unit level) across the Barclays portfolio is largely irrelevant. Strategists at Barclays are concerned mainly with the maximisation of shareholder value and concepts such as uncertainty, change and complexity are not within the managerial lexicon. Based on this observation, strategy development at Barclays does not involve a carefully managed reciprocal relationship between the firm and its environment, or a skilfully manipulated balance of the degree of change and the level of complexity with which the organisation is deemed able to cope. Strategy development involves the dedicated and ruthless stewardship of a highly successful and resilient business model that could not fail within the economic environment experienced during the period of this research (1999-2005). Consequently, the Bank's strategic capability (e.g. people) and assets (e.g. brand and technology) are geared towards protecting and developing the business model, or in simpler managerial terms, 'defending the money-printing machine'.
