Van der Stede, London School of Economics With reference to the three “management accounting” papers on the CAR Conference program, as well as related contemporaneously relevant issues in management accounting, this session aims to exemplify the breadth of research in this area of accounting. The session will be guided by a discussion of what it means to engage in problem-focused research rather than to be merely paradigm- or discipline-focused. Students will be challenged to evaluate the research against some big unanswered questions and the prevailing conventional wisdom, and whether such prevailing wisdom should be questioned. From there, we will discuss the primitive motivation for the research questions, as well as how various source disciplines and methods can be fruitfully engaged to research them, and whether, possibly, cross-paradigmatic insights might enhance our research contributions in these areas.

We will approach this topic through a fairly general lens of inferentially valid research design (e.g.,Campbell and Stanley 1966) and attempt to illustrate our points with examples from published empirical research.
