“…Even if they took advantage of the reforms that occurred in US business during the 1950s, proponents of positive accounting theory also benefited from the decoupling between the academic world and accounting practice initiated by their predecessors.

The objective of this paper is to explore all related literature with multiparadigm accounting research approaches. The literature search strategy begins by looking at literature from sources in the forms of books or sources originating from several databases or search engines including open knowledge maps, google scholar, and z-library. The keywords used for the search are “accounting: science with various paradigms, multiparadigm accounting research, accounting paradigm and paradigm accounting”. From the results of searching and reviewing the literature, including books, journal articles and other electronic sources, various kinds of multiparadigm accounting research were obtained. By knowing the benefits of each of the paradigm viewpoints that have been described, it is good if we take a mixed paradigm approach in accounting research so that research results are of higher quality because they are not only based on one paradigm. Even though in one research using one accounting paradigm, those of us who strongly believe in a certain paradigm still have an open mind towards other paradigms thus enriching our views so that in studying accounting all paradigms are believed to complement one another. This research will greatly contribute to academics in viewing accounting from various perspectives. This literature review classifies multiparadigm accounting research based on more specific groups.

“…In short, NPOs already have a holistic influence on their economic, social and ecological environment. Consequently, NPOs seek to perpetuate their positive action on society for as long as possible (Neesham et al, 2017). In other words, the sustainability of actions in NPOs is at the heart of their management.…”

The concept of corporate social responsibility (CSR) in nonprofit organizations (NPOs) is a challenge for the literature and for the organizations themselves. The concept is often confused with social responsibility or sustainability. The pleonasm between CSR and the mission, values and nature of NPOs also raises questions. Finally, the relevance of the concept in its current state to NPOs calls into question, because of the “corporate” terminology. Design/methodology/approach: Based on a literature review, this article proposes to respond to these different gaps thanks to an analysis of the definitions, the theories, measurement methods and content of research dedicated to CSR, social responsibility and sustainability. Findings: The research underlines the triple relevance of the concept of CSR in NPOs. Its relevance to the other two concepts, its strategic importance and the interest of differentiation from for-profit organizations. Originality: This article proposes a literature review on CSR in NPOs, a subject that is still emerging in the literature but which nevertheless needs to be addressed in the current context of multiple crises.

“…Perceptions towards alternative agriculture may depend on natural and cultural context where respective actors are located, or can be explained through interpretivist-constructivist perspective where it is socially constructed and interpreted by people experiencing it giving rise to differences in its definition geographically and socially (Chaippe & Butler, 1998;Guba & Lincoln, 1989;Neesham, McCormick, & Greenwood 2017). It is against this background that the motivation for this study emerged where a constructivist approach was used to determine what alternative agriculturemeans in Zimbabwe (Charmaz, 2017).…”

Policy makers, Non-Governmental Organizations, and environmental experts advocate for alternative agriculture to revive the agricultural sector in Zimbabwe and address climate change and environmental degradation. However, alternative agriculture is underdeveloped and the concept lacks clarity within the country's context thereby undermining its expansion. Using qualitative research design comprising of semistructured interviews with eight experts actively involved in alternative agriculture promotion in Zimbabwe, this study was conducted to identify key attributes of alternative agriculture and the associated activities in the country. Findings from the study revealed that consumer food perceptions and international agencies marginalized alternative agriculture. To counteract marginalization, advocates were actively developing local markets that never existed before. These findings provide vital information that may inform policy and assist further development of alternative agriculture in developing regions.
