Employing Actor Network Theory to Explore the Role of Management Control Systems in New Product Development Projects
Abstract
dc:descriptionThis thesis is a theoretically-led conceptual investigation about the socio-technical factors that influence the role and use of control systems in New Product Development (NPD) settings. The purpose of the dissertation is to explore the socio-technical micro-foundations underpinning the influence of management accounting and control systems in NPD contexts. In addition, this dissertation offers insights to some critical issues related to the Actor Network Theory applied for the empirical analysis. Particularly, an exploration of semiotic and power issues related to non human actors is provided.
