Globalisation and the coordinating of work in multi-national audits
نویسندگان
چکیده
I should also declare my hand about two other matters that are pertinent to the following discussion. One is that I am only vaguely familiar with Giddens’ (1989; 1991) work, which the authors draw upon as their theoretical framework (more on this later). The other is that, although eclectic in research approach, I do tend towards positivism. Sacrilege, I know, to the type of esteemed colleague that tends to frequent IPA conferences, and certainly, I’m sure, a point of contention to the authors, and many of the acknowledged commentators on the paper! But, there we go. I shall try not to let my philosophical predilections influence my critique of the paper. To prove this (there is irony here somewhere), I shall make no comment about the research methodology, least of all the question about the extent to which a different set of researchers would have or could have ended up with the same or similar conclusions.
