Riahi-Belkaoui explains that these paradigms, each striving for primacy through publications, conferences, and other means of self-exposure, are characterized by their exemplars, their image of the subject matter, their theories, and finally the methods they use. In doing so they have given accounting a certain, new cachet. Riahi-Belkaoui thus provides a critical examination of each of these paradigms in an effort to guide researchers and policymakers in their search for proper interpretations and positionings of the products of accounting research. A stimulating discussion for academics and knowledgeable professionals alike. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eIn six chapters each devoted to a specific paradigm, the book elucidates each paradigm's contribution to accounting thought and practice. Covered are the anthropological\/inductive paradigm, the true income\/deductive paradigm, the decision usefulness\/decision model paradigm, the decision usefulness\/decision maker\/aggregate market behavior paradigm, and the decision usefulness\/decision maker\/individual user paradigm. The result is a book that makes unique use of philosophy of science concepts in accounting, and a book that will also have applications in university graduate-level courses in research methodology and accounting theory.","brand":"Quorum Books","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":45081936232599,"sku":"9781567200485","price":9540.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9781567200485.webp?v=1767262901","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/accounting-a-multiparadigmatic-science-9781567200485","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
