Literature review:

Suppose you are writing a thesis/dissertation on strategic management accounting.

You intend to review the accounting and management literature in order to understand different approaches and perspectives on the concept of strategy and the strategy-making process. You are also thinking of the possibility of using

‘biopolitics’ as a theoretical framework to illustrate that recent developments in the field of strategy manifest a shift from a liberal to a neoliberal governance of firms and nations.

You are required to do the necessary literature survey and write a chapter circa 5,000 words. You should search the academic journal databases for recent management and accounting literature on strategy as well as critical political assessments of the recent trends in management and accounting (e.g. Munro 2012).
