Resumen

This paper aims to present and discuss a theoretical framework model to study the process of management accounting change. The paper draws on new institutional sociology, old institutional economics, and the dialectical perspective. Specifically, the theoretical framework model combines three different frameworks that explain organisational change, namely: Dillard et al.’s (2004) framework, Burns and Scapens’ (2000) framework, and Seo and Creed’s (2002) framework. It is expected that this framework will be able to support the understanding of the complex ‘mishmash’ of inter-related factors at the micro and macro levels that shape management accounting practices. In doing so, this framework will help to understand and explain the process of management accounting change.


Key words: management accounting change, new institutional sociology, old institutional economics, dialectical perspective.
