MBA Curriculum Reform in the Accounting Discipline
Author: Cote, Jane
Product Type: Syllabi; Teaching Modules

Publication Year: 2008
Faculty Rating: 
[5 Faculty Ratings] 4571 views
Accounting with its arcane language and rules is a subject often feared and reviled by MBA students. While the process of producing accounting information might indeed contribute to this reputation, framed differently, MBA students easily see the role accounting plays in achieving strategic goals and managing stakeholder tensions. MBA students are expected to be future business leaders, not accountants. Using this assumption to design the course results in less emphasis on computation and more emphasis on the consequences that choices made in the process of accounting measurement have on strategic direction, stakeholder commitments and performance expectations. Students then understand that accounting is a measurement system that lays the foundation for enlightened decision making.
