Citations in the corpus

• Management accounting in less developed countries: what is known and needs knowing (2009, background): “Politicians and officials may wish to modernise but survival may require satisfying popular non-capitalist cultural expectations through patronage and illicit means, which may also cement their own interests (Uddin and Hopper, 2003).”
• Dissemination and institutionalization of public sector accounting reforms in less developed countries: A comparative study of the Nepalese and Sri Lankan central governments (2013, background): “…that international organizations have applied various mechanisms, mainly through reports outlining so-called “best practices” and the provision of technical assistance, to push their reform ideas in the developing world (Mir & Rahaman, 2005; Uddin et al., 2011; Uddin & Hopper, 2001, 2003).”
• Globalisation, accounting and developing countries (2017, background): “For example, a WB report on newly privatised companies in Bangladesh claimed that their success warranted further privatisations but independent research judged only one a commercial success and it questioned the narrow criterion in the WB report—namely profitability (Uddin & Hopper, 2003).”
• Development of Corporate Governance Regulations: The Case of an Emerging Economy (2010, background): “Uddin and Hopper (2003), examining the success of privatisation of state-owned companies in Bangladesh, also identified the lack of legal enforcement as a major problem.”
• Rationality, traditionalism and the state of corporate governance mechanisms: Illustrations from a less-developed country (2008, background): “Given the cost of this, it is surprising that the policy-makers pay so little attention to the structures of societal settings (World Bank, 1995; Uddin and Hopper, 2003).”
• Japanese cost management meets Sri Lankan politics: Disappearance and reappearance of bureaucratic management controls in a privatised utility (2004, background): “less transparency, declining state revenues, deteriorating conditions of employment, and in extreme cases fraud (Uddin and Hopper, 2003).”
