Following the success of that conference, we held subsequent conferences in 2003, 2005, 2007, and 2009. This volume contains some of the exemplary papers that were presented at the most recent conference. Though the conference has been generally focused on performance measurement and management control and has included presentations on many facets of the topic, each year we have also focused on a particular theme of current interest. This year's theme was directed at innovative concepts and practices. This includes creative approaches to solving management challenges of performance and management control and improving organizational performance. It also includes the innovative use of empirical, analytical, experimental, and case-based research. The contents of this book represent a collection of leading research in management control and performance measurement and provide a significant contribution to the growing literature in the area.Studies in managerial and financial accounting ;v. 20Management auditCongressesManagerial accountingCongressesOrganizational effectivenessCongressesPerformance standardsCongressesAccountingbicsscFinancial accountingbicsscBusiness & economicsAccountingGeneralbisacshBusiness & economicsAccountingManagerialbisacshConference papers and proceedings.fastManagement controlPerformance measurementInnovative conceptsManagement auditManagerial accountingOrganizational effectivenessPerformance standardsAccounting.Financial accounting.Business & economicsAccountingGeneral.Business & economicsAccountingManagerial.658.1511Epstein Marc J438176Manzoni J.

Examining the origins of Africa's "growth tragedy," Markets and States in Tropical Africa has for decades shaped the thinking of practitioners and scholars alike. Robert H. Bates's analysis now faces a challenge, however: the revival of economic growth on the continent. In this edition, Bates provides a new preface and chapter that address the seeds of Africa's recovery and discuss the significance of the continent's success for the arguments of this classic work.Agriculture and stateAfrica, Sub-SaharanAgricultureEconomic aspectsAfrica, Sub-Saharanafrica.african countries.african history.agriculture.business and industry.business.california series on social choice and political economy.cash crops.corrupt governments.economic growth.economic recovery.economics.food sector.governments and governing.growth tragedy.industrial sector.money.political marginalization.political reform.politics.postcolonial africa.postcolonialism.pricing policies.rural economies.urban areas.volunteerism.wealth and poverty.wealth.Agriculture and stateAgricultureEconomic aspects338.1/867Bates Robert H.119357MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQE-BOOK9910828627903321Markets and states in tropical Africa821258UNINA
