This special issue seeks to advance understanding of how management accounting is evolving in response to digitalisation, sustainability challenges, and ongoing organisational transformation. In recent years, rapid technological developments—including data analytics, artificial intelligence, and digital platforms—have fundamentally reshaped organisational information systems and decision-making processes. At the same time, organisations face increasing pressure to respond to climate change, environmental degradation, and broader socio-economic challenges. These developments are redefining expectations of management accounting, extending its role beyond traditional financial control toward supporting sustainable value creation and long-term organisational resilience

Aline Grahn (FU Berlin) and Philipp Richter (TU Dresden) are guest editors of a Special Issue in the Journal of Accounting & Organizational Change (Emerald) on executive personality and management accounting. The topic aligns closely with the AFAANZ’s research focus. We ask whether you can share the call through the network.
The Special Issue, "Bright Minds, Dark Shadows: Executive Personality and the Role of Management Accounting," invites work on how CEO and CFO traits shape the way executives design and use management control systems, and how those systems condition executive judgment over time. We welcome experimental, archival, survey-based, qualitative, and theoretical contributions. Submissions close 16 August 2026.
The questions sit at the intersection of behavioral accounting, upper echelons research, and management control. Your members work in exactly these areas, and circulating the call through your channels reaches authors who otherwise miss it.
