Narratives of exploitation and resistance
Stories, Narratives, and Golden Threads in Accounting History Research
This paper explores narrative and storytelling, proposing a “golden thread” approach to the writing of accounting history. The study considers “stories” as the events involving human actors and “narratives” as interpretive frameworks through which these stories can be organized and told. In accounting history, tensions arise between immersive, story-driven accounts and structured, theory-oriented approaches. The paper argues for a renewed emphasi…
Learner engagement with instructor‐generated video
Effective video resources are assumed to promote learner engagement, but the extent to which this occurs is unclear. This study examines learners' engagement with instructor‐generated video. It contributes an analytical synthesis of qualitative and quantitative data that provides the basis for investigating the extent to which, and how, learners engage with video resources provided in their courses. Specifically, three dimensions of learner engag…

In terms of nascent ideas of accounting and business administration of the time, Pepys and his contribution are under-researched. Many scholars have considered the life of Samuel Pepys, studying his famous diary and marvelling at the wonderful insight this gives us to the time in which he lived, few have viewed his naval career in t…
Nothing is Standard
In the 1930s, active industrialization of the economy in the USSR was impossible without using modern management techniques and accounting methods. To increase the manageability of industrial enterprises, attempts to introduce standard costing, imported from the United States, were undertaken. Previously called progressive and useful, after the policy of the Communist Party changed, standard costing was identified as a calculative technique that …
A rum deal
We draw on archival resources and maritime and accounting history literature to explore the role of Royal Navy (RN) pursers between 1665 and 1832. Through an agency theory lens, we investigate accounting-related practices pursers used to control consumable rations, including the ‘purser’s (short) measure.’ The records pursers were required to keep suggest that the RN was at the forefront of the development of cost and materials accounting, and in…
