“…how companies in Norway comply with the language requirement of the Norwegian Accounting Act Article 3-4. The qualitative and quantitative data included in this study were analysed in two separate rounds, which corresponds to the compartmentalised strategy for mixed method research described by Hurmerinta & Nummela (2011). A compartmentalised strategy implies that the different types of data are analysed in a sequential order of methods, which means that the qualitative and quantitative data were analysed within their own tradition (Hurmerinta & Nummela 2011:218).…”

This paper investigates how 492 of the largest companies in Norway comply with the language requirement of the Norwegian Accounting Act Article 3-4. The results show that 36% of the companies presented their financial statements in Norwegian only, 45% in one or more language(s) in addition to Norwegian, while 19% had been granted dispensation and presented statements in English-only. The company’s ownership, use of English as a corporate language, and industry affiliation were the three most commonly mentioned reasons for dispensation, but the findings show significant differences between industry sectors in terms of language choice. The study contributes to corporate law research by examining the interpretation and application of the Norwegian Accounting Act by the Norwegian Directorate of Taxes; to sociolinguistics by shedding new light on the concepts of domain loss and diglossia; and to language-sensitive research in international business by analysing language use in Norwegian companies.

“…It requires flexibility to allow change in future research direction. There is a tendency to continuously change the method to suit the emerging theme and reformulate the problematisation, which, in the worst case, may lead to abandoning cases and starting all over again (Hurmerinta & Nummela, 2011). Therefore, although this study advocates the use of multi-method field studies for future IMA, again, researchers must consider whether this method is the best way to answer the research question(s).…”

“…Analysis of average CPY (61.43) reveals that adopting multi-method qualitative field studies that combine interviews with questionnaires is significant. One plausible reason is conducting multi-method research may add more value to the findings (Brannen, 1996) and should result in answering more complicated research questions (Hurmerinta & Nummela, 2011). Therefore, combining qualitative and quantitative data to analyse MA practice also has impact.…”

This paper analyses and synthesizes the interpretive management accounting research (IMAR) literature to understand how the field has developed and identify areas for future research. A structured literature review methodology was adopted to analyse the top 100 IMAR literatures based on citation per year and citation index as of July 2022. The findings of the study suggest that it is important to understand the practical implementation of management accounting at an organizational level. Performative research can provide valuable insights into the application of management accounting in specific contexts. The authors recommend adopting a critical localist approach to explore both emic and etic insights and conducting comparative studies through international collaboration. The lack of evidence regarding the use of management accounting in the public sector and the possibilities of management control systems in a changing environment present research gaps and opportunities. Finally, the authors call for innovation in research methodologies, with an increased emphasis on the role of theorizing in the IMAR domain. The significance of this research lies in providing a systematic analysis of literature to explore a developing area of study and assess the current state-of-the-art in the field of IMAR.

“…For analyses, the value categories or scale levels (Likert scale) of variables were combined if needed. The original text was retained and utilised in parallel with the categorised variables (for more about mixed methods in case studies, see Hurmerinta & Nummela, 2011). The numerical presentation of data is accompanied by quotations to enliven and clarify the analysis and interpretation.…”

Sadness bright as glass: the acceptance of emotionally sensitive radical innovation

The existing literature acknowledges the importance of emotions in consumer decision-making and the challenges of radical innovation adoption; however, the literature seldom combines these two streams. The purpose of this study was to analyse potential adopters' considerations concerning an innovation that is targeted at intense negative emotions. Choosing a case-study strategy enabled us to focus on extremely negative emotions (related to death) and the acceptance of a radical innovation (a memorial stone made of glass). In this study, we applied a longitudinal mixed-methods approach. Data were collected via interviews with consumers (357 respondents), the entrepreneur and her employee. Findings show that an emotionally sensitive radical innovation evokes more intense emotions and emotional ambivalence among consumers. Its acceptance also seems to depend on the age and gender of the customers and requires cultural change. A lengthy adoption process seems to be characteristic of emotionally intensive innovation. This study has implications for managers facing the challenge of creating new markets for a radical innovation that involves extreme emotions on the part of consumers. Theoretically, the study contributes to both innovation adoption and consumer decision-making literature.
