Special Issue on “Management Accounting in Latin America” Spanish Journal of Finance and Accounting
Call for Papers
Aims and Scope
Management accounting research in Latin America has grown significantly in recent years. Existing research is mainly motivated by the needs of organizations facing the challenges of privatization, and increasingly globalized and competitive markets. This research has been published almost exclusively in Portuguese and Spanish languages, leading to limited visibility and exposure to the international academic community. Hence, our knowledge about the design, adoption, and use of management accounting practices in the region is scarce and fragmented. The objective of this special issue of the Spanish Journal of Finance and Accounting (SJFA) is to shed light on management accounting practices in Latin America. We welcome rigorous and insightful research that could be conceptual, methodological or empirical (qualitative, quantitative, or mixed) in nature. Papers in this SJFA special issue will build upon extant literature and will extend the results of recent discussions on management accounting at the international level.
Suggested Topics
The special issue invites submissions in a broad range of management accounting topics studied within the Latin-American context. Areas of interest for this special issue include, but are not limited to, the following themes:
Management accounting and productivity.
• Interactions of management accounting and regional strategic issues.
• Bridges between management accounting and financial accounting.
• Management accounting for sustainable, environmental and social development.
• The relationship between management accounting and culture.
• Management accounting in the public sector (e.g. institutionalization).
• Management accounting education.
• The role of management accountants in private and public sector organizations.
• Management accounting practices adopted by SMEs and start-ups.
