Abstract

This paper builds on the 1995 Management Accounting Section research committee's report. Three broad areas are discussed, which researchers might follow to explore new issues in management accounting research, and emphasize the importance of a multi-paradigm, multi-method approach to research. This committee was asked to define a range of topics that will lead to fruitful research explorations. That output is a function of input should be considered in light of the work of this committee. The members of the committee came from diverse backgrounds and interests. The committee chose to narrow the focus to broad themes of organizational change, organizational structure, and decision making to provide a coherent discussion of future research possibilities. The goal was simply to stimulate thought and debate concerning possible new frontiers for management accounting research.
