The study shows that the scope and effect of these techniques shaped the identities of organizational participants but that the discourse of profes...

摘要：This paper examines the role of accounting calculations in the process of reorganizing the manufacturing capabilities of a vertically integrated global retailing company.

Management's intention was to engender a self-managing means of continuous improvement of wor...
