Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

This Special Issue focuses on the broad topic of “Accounting and Information Management” and includes novel research on the use of information technology methods and techniques for accounting and control management, risk management, or corporate performance. Accounting/management control can be seen as dependent on information technology.

Theoretical and empirical articles on the application of novel information management techniques, accounting standards and reporting, management accounting systems, financial management, and information management with a special emphasis given to the interaction between these areas of research in an international context and in either the private or public sectors are encouraged. This Special Issue welcomes and encourages articles from both academics and practitioners.

This study evaluates the performance of United States (US) and European Exchange Traded Funds (ETFs) using the non-oriented version of the base point-slack-based measure (BP-SBM) Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) model, which allows for handling negative data that can arise in some of the metrics traditionally used in this type of analysis. Our findings show that US efficient ETFs are considered benchmarks more often than European efficient ETFs. Nonetheless, it was possible to conclude that European inefficient ETFs were generally less inefficient than US ETFs. Our findings also show that ETFs’ efficiency (particularly for US ETFs) in the short run is more related to risk than to profitability factors. This implies that as the time horizon lengthens, the importance of profitability factors for the ETFs’ financial performance grows. Full article

This paper presents knowledge collaboration among tax professionals in a tax-knowledge context within Malaysian accounting associations through the conceptual lens of a community of practice. Semi-structured in-depth interviews were conducted with a total of 29 tax professionals. Additionally, data were also gathered from field notes and archival data. The findings revealed that the Malaysian accounting-professional associations reflected a community of practice. Knowledge collaboration occurs among members in this community in order to attain the highest standard of technical and professional competency in tax knowledge and practice. The findings from this study complement and expand previous research on CoP, knowledge management, and collaboration. The findings suggest exploring a better strategy to implement a central repository of knowledge acquired or generated by the members within the community to support the learning lifecycle.

As retail management has become increasingly demanding, it is imperative that retailers use market orientation to promote and increase loyalty to their private labels. This can be important in efforts to differentiate themselves from their competition. The focus of this study is to understand how these factors impact the loyalty of customer purchase decisions, through the link between the potential for brand risk and brand commitment, in order to facilitate customer orientation and brand loyalty. An online survey was conducted with a sample of 2900 consumers in Portugal and Spain. This study analyzed two distinct and high involvement product categories: Denomination of Origin (DOC) wine and anti-wrinkle cream. Structural equation modeling methodology was used to analyze the relationship between different constructs. It was found that there is no direct correlation between customer orientation and brand loyalty. However, this connection is critical when the two mediating variables of brand risk and brand commitment are accounted for. Another important finding relates to the values and differences identified between the two product categories. The results obtained show the importance of risk and commitment for high involvement products. In practice, this justifies brands explicitly managing these factors, because they can translate into loyalty behaviors. The results also contribute to demystifying the market for more complex products, particularly when the choice and risk process is more complex. Full article
