Purpose – This paper seeks to focus on the diffusion of activity-based costing (ABC) in Jordan. A conceptual framework from general diffusion theory is adopted to describe the diffusion process within the Jordanian industrial sector. The main objective of the study is to determine the...

Purpose – In spite of facilitating and motivating factors in the external environment, the implementation of new management-accounting techniques as activity-based costing (ABC) in companies is disappointing. The aim of the study is to determine factors that catalyse, facilitate and motivate...

The proposed techniques for wireless environments during the last decade have limited support for dynamically changing environments. Due to its nature, the mobile computing environment is extremely dynamic and subject to rapid and unpredictable changes. Similarly, the characteristics of mobile...

The simultaneous use of the new computing paradigms: Domain Specific Modeling, Context Oriented Computing and Service Oriented Computing, raises many challenges. Particularly, the challenge of engineering such systems, which consists of the definition of modeling approaches, processes,...

Purpose – In spite of facilitating and motivating factors in the external environment, the implementation of new management‐accounting techniques as activity‐based costing (ABC) in companies is disappointing. The aim of the study is to determine factors that catalyse, facilitate and...
