KURSPLAN FÖR FORSKARUTBILDNINGSKURS Kursnamn: Management, Accounting and Control II Högskolepoäng: 7,5 p Kurskod: Institution: Ekonomi, teknik och samhälle Examinator: Professor Anders Nilsson Lärandemål: Kursens mål är att deltagarna ska tillägna sig fördjupade kunskaper om aktuella utvecklingslinjer i skärningspunkten mellan management, redovisning och styrning och om hur dessa kan relateras till olika delområden inom institutionell teori. Ett viktigt syfte är också att bredda deltagarnas teoribas som underlag för deras egna avhandlingsprojekt. Kursinnehåll: I kursen behandlas aktuell forskning rörande prestationsmätning och styrning under osäkerhet och i olika organisatoriska sammanhang. Vidare diskuteras framväxten av institutionell teori och en referensram för studier av institutioner samt institutionella determinanter, processer och konsekvenser på olika analysnivåer. Särskilt betonas behovet av ett integrerat synsätt på olika företagsekonomiska delområden. Kursens profil mot institutionell teori öppnar också upp för kopplingar till discipliner som psykologi, sociologi, lärande och statsvetenskap. På litteraturlistan finns två huvudböcker och ett antal vetenskapliga artiklar upptagna. Utöver denna gemensamma litteratur kan kursdeltagarna fritt välja en artikel med anknytning till det egna forsknings- eller intresseområdet. Den gemensamma litteraturen är indelad i följande teman: 1) The Notion of Management Control 2) Management Control and Uncertainty 3) Institutions and Organizations 4) Management and Measurement I kursen utvecklas resonemang från Management, Accounting and Control I. Den senare kursen utgör dock inte förkunskapskrav. Genomförande: Kursen går under perioden mars juni 2016, bedrivs i seminarieform, och omfattar tio halvdagssammankomster, preliminärt kl. 13.15 16.45 varje torsdag under perioden 10 mars 4 maj med slutseminarium den 9 juni. Vid varje seminarium behandlas fem bidrag (artikel eller bokkapitel) varav minst ett från respektive tema. För varje bidrag utses en kursdeltagare till ansvarig diskussionsledare. Diskussionsledaren förser övriga kursdeltagare med minnesanteckningar. Samtliga deltagare förbereder inlägg till diskussionen om vart och ett av de olika bidragen. Kursen ges på svenska.
Urval: Kursen är i första hand öppen för forskarstuderande i företagsekonomi eller motsvarande. Efter samråd med examinator finns möjlighet för andra forskarstuderande att följa kursen. Maximalt åtta kursdeltagare kan komma att antas. Examinationsform: Kursen avslutas genom att kursdeltagarna författar och försvarar ett kurspaper samt opponerar på två sådana. Godkänd kursprestation kräver utöver detta ett aktivt deltagande i seminarierna med förberedda inlägg runt den behandlade litteraturen. Deltagarna förutsätts närvara vid alla kurstillfällen.
