“…The use of ICT increases the supply of information as ICT plays a key role in information sharing and dissemination. According to Spanos et al (2002), ICT removes distance and time constraint in accessing required information flows.

There is a growing requirement in recent times for stronger cost control and a demand for higher returns in businesses (Milis and Mercken, 2003). The use of Information and communication technology (ICT) to gain competitive advantage has become a key strategic issue amongst organizations in the fast globalizing environment (Kakabadse et al., 2005), as ICT plays a strategic role in the management of organizations. Rastrict and Corner (2010); Lin and Lin (2006) amongst others reveal that there is a growing support for the positive relationship between ICT and its benefits. Thus, it implies that ICT brings about organizational advantage. This paper is drawn from on-going PhD research and it intends to deepen our understanding on the impact of implementing ICT in organizations using two companies in Nigeria as case study examples. It further identifies the reasons behind the companies' decisions to adopt ICT and the benefits associated with the use of ICT.

“…Consequently, a better access to information can positively affect the emergence of new relational networks involving different actors in public value creation (Daly, 2006). In this stream of research, several studies have considered that the implementation of emergent accounting technologies has able to offer interesting benefits in terms of organizational readiness, external pressures, changes in organizational strategy, structure, management systems and human capital skills, and openness to external sources of information (Spanos, Prastacos, & Panlymenakon, 2002). In public sector, the adoption of specific tools dedicated to accounting management has been influenced by private sector solutions, such as Key Performance Indicators (KPIs), Balanced Score Card (BSC), Activity-Based Costing (ABC), Strategic Cost Management.…”

In recent years, the general reform of public sector has also interested accounting policies, techniques, and tools in order to make them as clear and understandable as possible. Thus, citizens and private organizations are even more demanding for a new and deeper disclosure of public accounting policies, fundamental to make them properly understood. This seems to be particularly important also because understanding public accounting policies is quite complex, because they highly vary not only among different countries, but also within a single country. It is also to be noted that in modern society, financial issues play a pivotal role in terms of public organizations' efficiencies and competitiveness. This paper aims to investigate the spread and the application of emerging accounting policies and practices designed for public organizations. The analysis of a specific case study, settled in Italian context, points to better understand how public managers perceive the introduction and the results achieved through emerging accounting tools. The analysis offers some interesting insights in terms of new management accounting policies appliance to public organizations, in order to better respond to the emergent need for a much more open and transparent public management.

“…One participant summarised the situation particularly well: 'any system will fail if you don't address its behavioural / organizational context.' Moreover, the importance of treating various specific issues was also confirmed, particularly organizational culture and structure [39]. As one participant noted: 'you're not going to get the performance benefits you require, unless you look at aligning the organization with the technology, to ensure that jobs are redesigned and users appropriately trained to achieve those objectives.…”
