The role of case study methods in management accounting research: A personal reflection and reply

Robert W. Scapens

The British Accounting Review, 1992, vol. 24, issue 4, 369-383

Abstract: Llewellyn (1992), in a comment on my paper which appeared in the British Accounting Review in 1990, claims to have located certain ambiguities in my arguments. This reply demonstrates that her claims are due to a mis-reading of my paper, especially the section dealing with the arguments advanced by positive accounting theorists. It also discusses the nature of positive accounting theory and the generalisation of case studies.
