This series constitutes a range of cutting edge books across the accounting disciple. Up and coming new scholars as well as respected, established names form an exciting series for Routledge.

Previously published by Garland, New Works in Accounting History is now to be published by Routledge.

This series has provided students, teachers and researchers with the opportunity to learn more about the discipline of accountancy and its past. New volumes from Routledge will maintain this tradition with details to follow soon.

Recent years have seen an explosion of research in business history. Business history is now seen variously as: a key to understanding a vital aspect of the past, a source of parallels and insights into modern business practice, and a way of understanding the evolution of modern business practice. This series is not limited to any single approach, and explores a wide range of issues and industries.

How do firms work? What networks are involved in driving organizations forward? This series presents titles which look at the dynamics of organizations and the particular effects of different types of business networks. It covers topics such as:

• industrial networks
• transaction cost economics
• organization theory
• change and information
• new theories of the firm

It considers both the economic, cultural and environmental factors that govern the success and failure of business networks and organizations.

Aspects of the employment relationship are central to numerous courses both at undergraduate and postgraduate level. Drawing on insights from industrial relations, human resource management and industrial sociology, this series provides an alternative source of research-based materials reviewing key developments in employment research.

Edited by Stephen A. Zeff, this new series showcases the work of distinguished scholars of accounting theory from across the globe.

HRD theory is changing rapidly. Recent advances in theory and practice, in how we conceive of organizations and of the world of knowledge, have led to the need to reinterpret the field. This series aims to reflect and foster the development of HRD as an emergent discipline.

Encompassing a range of different international, organizational, methodological and theoretical perspectives, the series promotes theoretical controversy and reflective practice.

Routledge Studies in Innovation, Organizations and Technology (RIOT) is a lively new series which features high level research across innovation studies, new technologies research and organizations. Books published under this series will stir debate and cast fresh light on a range of topics.

As ever-increasing proportion of the world's business takes place across national borders, the need to understand the motive forces behind international business becomes greater. Transnationals are now, in many cases, as important as national governments in shaping trade flows and economic trends. As this series demonstrates, international business is not just the preserve of the largest companies, but impacts on all aspects of business and economic activity. This series is essential reading for policy makers as well as researchers in international business and applied international economics.

This series brings together the most innovative work in the burgeoning interpretive marketing research tradition. It ranges across the methodological spectrum from grounded theory to personal introspection, covering all aspects of the postmodern marketing mix, from advertising to product development.

Voluntary and non-profit organizations are playing an increasingly significant role, worldwide, in the provision and management of public services.

Drawing together significant and ground breaking research, this series will be essential reading for students of public policy and management as well as the thinking manager.

• the management of innovation and change
• financial management
• performance evaluation and management
• organizational development and project management.

Firms' ability to meet strategic goals depends on their ability to orientate their organizations towards those goals. Increasingly it is being recognized that strategy is the result of a complex interaction of objectives and capabilities. This series examines the role of strategy in the modern company. Organizational behaviour is explored as a factor which is important at every level; something which shapes strategy and is also a means of fulfilling it.

There is a growing polarization in the international economy for companies to become either transnational corporations or small businesses. This dualism means the experience of the small business is quite different to that of a large corporation. The life of a small business is often shorter, riskier and more entwined with the personality of the entrepreneur. Case-studies and the latest research are used to reveal the regional, national and international role of the small business.

The books in the series offer groundings in central elements of the management of technology and innovation. They provide stimulating treatments of key themes which form part of the Management of Technology and/or Innovation syllabus and are primarily aimed at advanced undergraduates, postgraduates and lecturing and research staff. The books explain, develop and critically explore issues and concepts on the assumption that students and staff already have a basic understanding of the area. All the books in the series incorporate a combination of this review of the current state of knowledge in a particular aspect of the management of technology/innovation with the presentation and discussion of new primary material not previously published. The series has been developed as a result of market research into the changing needs of lecturers and students and will tap emerging areas as they move into the curriculum. The series aims to offer a range of connected themes which can, if required, build into a course; each book is designed to be user-friendly, with an international orientation and key introductions and summaries.
