Causes and confusions in African history : debate
ABSTRACT What follows is a short note on James Fenske's article, The Causal History of Africa: A Response to Hopkins (Economic History of Developing Regions, Vol. 25, No. 2, 2010). The intention is to prevent what I regard as a wholly unnecessary bifurcation of effort in a field that, more than many others, needs its few practitioners at least to agree on the broad framework within which disagreement can then take place.
This study examined the influence of contextual factors upon the diffusion of cost and management accounting techniques and procedures. The research involved surveys and interviews with CIMA members in the UK, Australia and New Zealand.
