About this book
Reviews
“Over the last years, the business partner role has evolved into the dominant role script and aspirational identity for the management accounting occupation. In order to support management accountants on this professional journey, contemporary organizations need to understand the challenges they face. The present book provides relevant and novel insights into how management accountants can become business partners. It also provides the reader with interesting ideas on how CFOs or senior accountants, HR and operational managers can support management accountants in this ‘self-orienting process.’ Drawing on an autobiographical approach, the book highlights that the journey towards becoming a business partner is highly context-dependent and introduces a Business Partner Developing Model that can be used to describe and understand individual situations and respective career strategies for management accountants. I recommend this book for both junior and senior management accountants as well as students and researchers interested in the occupation.” (Lukas Goretzki, Associate Professor in Management Accounting & Control, Stockholm School of Economics, Sweden; Co-Editor, Qualitative Research in Accounting & Management)
