Australian National University, Canberra ACT

Abstract

This paper examines some areas where the conventional accounting system has failed to respond to the new requirements of the knowledge-based economy. In particular, it has failed to deliver corporate strategies to complement the technological resources that may comprise the organization's chief source of competitive advantage. Some alternative practices used by some innovative firms are considered in this article.
