Title: | Dictating Change, Shouting Success: Where is Accountability? | Contributor(s): | Khan, Ashfaq A (author) | Publication Date: | 2011 | Open Access: | Yes | Handle Link: | https://hdl.handle.net/1959.11/9509 | Open Access Link: | http://ro.uow.edu.au/aabfj/vol5/iss4/7/ | Abstract: | A great body of literature suggests that the poor were better off before the microfinance sector's paradigm shift of the mid-1990s. The sector's 'dependent' constituents' focus changed in an effort to cope with the changes dictated by its 'controlling' constituents. This paper's key finding is that the not-for-profit sector, where beneficiaries' interests are at stake, and the corporate sector, where owners and management are separate, should undergo an externally dictated change only after passing through a regulating agency's scrupulous check, lest the change harm the sector's beneficiaries. The paper attempts to create awareness among policy-makers of the need to be thoughtful of the ultimate beneficiaries in similar cases of externally dictated organisational change. | Publication Type: | Journal Article | Source of Publication: | Australasian Accounting Business and Finance Journal, 5(4), p. 85-100 | Publisher: | University of Wollongong, School of Accounting, Economics and Finance | Place of Publication: | Australia | ISSN: | 1834-2019 1834-2000 |
