The British Accounting Review, 1992, vol. 24, issue 4, 343-367

Abstract: This paper seeks to use a ‘middle range’ approach to study the processes of change in an organisation and in so doing, it focuses on the use of accounting in one district of the National Health Service. The study uses a case study and models from the literature on organisational change (Levy, 1986; Laughlin, 1991), each informing the other. In particular the models of organisational change are elaborated, and the question as to when second order change might be said to arise is posed.
