Abstract

The following chapters present the results from thirty top and middle managers in seven large companies. Firstly, section E1 describes the impact of management accounting systems on the strategic sensemaking processes of individual managers. It presents results on how management accounting system dimensions relate to observation (section E1.1), interpretation (section E1.2), and communication (section E1.3) in strategic sensemaking. A comparison of the findings with the literature review provides the basis for the development of propositions on the impact of management accounting system dimensions on the strategic sensemaking processes of individual managers (section E1.4).
