“…Driven partly by the reduction in public spending on the sector, universities have undergone processes of corporatisation and economic rationalism, resulting in the customerisation of teaching activities and the commodification of academic labour (Saravanamuthu and Tinker, 2002).…”

“…The higher education sectors in many developed countries have seen significant growth and change over the last few decades (Saravanamuthu and Tinker, 2002). In the UK, government policy in the early 1990s sought to increase the percentage of school leavers going on the university from approximately 12% to 40%.…”

“…In response to this pressure, papers are appearing that criticise the 'commodification' of academic labour and the corresponding desire of government and institutions to 'control' and 'manage' scholarly activity (e.g. Gendron, 2008;Tinker, 2006;Gray et al, 2002;Parker et al, 1998;Willmott, 1995;Puxty et al, 1994;Saravanamuthu and Tinker, 2002). It is believed that the pressure to publish in top ranked journals is leading to 'greater uniformity of the research process', 'career instrumentalism' and an 'institutionalised approach to research' (Hopwood, 2008: 87 and 90).…”

This study investigates the publication profiles of 140 accounting and finance faculty promoted to the senior rank of professor at UK and Irish universities during the period 1992 to 2007. On average, approximately 9 papers in Association of Business Schools (ABS) (2008)-listed journals, with 5 at the highest 3*/4* quality levels in a portfolio of 20 outputs are required for promotion to professor. Multivariate analysis provides evidence that publication requirements in terms of ABS ranked journal papers have increased over time, an effect attributed to the government research assessment exercise. There is no evidence that requirements differ for: internal versus external promotion, male versus female candidates; accounting versus finance professors, research intensity of institution peer group; or government research ranking of unit. There is also no evidence of a substitution effect in relation to increased recent publication history, quantity of non-ABS outputs or soleauthorship, all of which show a significant complementary effect. It is noted that there is very limited overlap in the UK and US publication journal sets, suggesting underlying geographically-based paradigm differences. The benchmarks provided in this study are informative in a range of decision settings: recruitment; those considering making an application for promotion to a chair and those involved in promotion panels; cross-disciplinary comparisons; and resource allocation. The evidence presented also contributes to the emerging policy debates concerning the aging demographic profile of accounting faculty, the management of academic labour and the Research Excellence Framework.

“…Universities are no longer primarily places of research, critical thinking and lively intellectual debate, as befitting a "community of scholars" but instead they are corporate-type entities run by key change agents who are akin to Chief Executive Officers. Indeed, universities have come to closely resemble corporations (Alexander, 1996;Marginson, 2000;Klein, 2001;Saravanamuthu and Tinker, 2002), and their primary goal now appears to be meeting the needs of business (capitalists). In the contemporary climate affecting the university sector, issues are frequently "depoliticised", thus stifling the necessary intellectual debate and criticism.…”

RESUMOObjetivo: Investigar, sob a ótica dos profissionais, pesquisadores e professores de contabilidade, como as Normas Internacionais de Educação propostas pelo IAESB podem influenciar o ambiente nacional de educação contábil. Fundamento: O resultado de uma internacionalização dos padrões de educação voltados para o ensino contábil pode gerar diversos impactos na formação e atuação dos contadores, nos mais diversos territórios, como alterações nas diretrizes curriculares, melhorias nas habilidades interpessoais, e ainda, mudanças nos requisitos de entrada nos cursos, de experiência prática e desenvolvimento profissional contínuo. Método: Realizou-se uma pesquisa de cunho descritivo, com procedimento de pesquisa de levantamento, realizado por meio de um instrumento utilizado ora como questionário, ora como roteiro de entrevista estruturada, elaborado com base na literatura e no Handbook of International Education Pronouncements do IAESB. Trata-se de um estudo qualitativo com a utilização da técnica de triangulação de dados. Resultados: A partir da análise documental, descreve-se as especificidades de cada uma das IES, bem como constata-se sua abordagem principle based standards, possibilitando que cada jurisdição adapte as IES as suas particularidades regionais. Por meio da análise da perspectiva dos participantes, observou-se maior similaridade nas concepções referentes às IES 2, IES 3, IES 6 e IES 7, em contrapartida, os posicionamentos frente as IES 1, IES 4 e IES 5, apresentaram-se heterogêneas.
