Summary
Summary
We live in a world dominated almost exclusively by flows of knowledge and information - by technologies designed to not only sustain but also increase the socio-economic need and desire for more and more information. This book offers a unique insight into the nature, role and context of accounting related information within the competitive business environment, and explores how business organisations - in particular companies - use a range of theories and technologies to not only assist in the maximisation of shareholder wealth, but also in the management and control of organisational resources.
