Konferensbidrag (refereegranskat)abstract
- Big Data is starting to permeate the field of performance measurement and management. With data being referred to as the “new oil of the 21st century” and organizations more and more striving for utilizing this to their advantage, the notion of Big Data has become a hallmark for the modern decision maker. We argue that albeit promising for performance measurement and management, there are several aspects that need to be addressed within research. This paper builds on a literature review of extant research, and, a case study, and raises issues that if left unchecked could have negative impacts on the field of performance measurement and management. Despite the many positive aspects associated with Big Data, there is a need for a sound, critical perspective. The findings are discussed in relation to the three Vs regarded as a the core definition of Big Data (volume, variety and velocity) and illustrated by a case study.

Held together by the bark : performance measurement and management as propagated by industry analysts

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- The purpose of this study is to explore what is propagated as performance measurement and management (PMM) by industry analysts. The rationale for targeting industry analysts is that this group constitutes a previously largely overlooked actor within the supply of management ideas. The study utilises empirical material in the form of proprietary reports marketed and sold by one of the largest industry analyst firms, through a dual analysis of history and content. As the findings show, there is a rich plethora of PMM incarnations stemming from one particular industry analyst report. Utilising rhetorical analysis, this piece of research is found to be lacking in sound argumentation opening up for significant doubts in terms of the validity of the subsequent incarnations. These findings are discussed in terms of implications for both research and practice.

AIS as a catalyst for change

Bokkapitel (refereegranskat)abstract
- Modern accounting information systems (AIS) can work as a catalyst for change if it is first understood how AIS have changed over time and which new challenges managers are facing when trying to benefit from the more advanced systems and what kind of change this may bring. Many of the opportunities that AIS offer are not fully learned until they change the way work is done in a permanent way. As such, organisational learning and organisational change are intertwined. A change in, e.g., how the management accounting function works can be facilitated by implementing a new AIS, especially if they free time for more advanced analyses. Analyses, decisions and actions are all possible through advanced digital initiatives in general, and a complex analysis of financial data in particular may contribute to a more productive business. More than ever, AIS constitute a system that can create the basis for an efficient business, drives renewal and makes a company profitable in the long run. In a way, advanced AIS have come to play a catalyst role, forcing the organisation to think through how operations are done and in what ways it could be improved to stay competitive.
