The Manufacturing and Service Accounting Research (MSAR) is the new name of the Manufacturing Accounting Research (MAR) Conference, a biennial conference at which worldwide scholars, researchers and practitioners debate on control, cost and performance management related issues in a wide range of business organizations, both in manufacturing and service. Previous conferences have been held in Eindhoven (1993), Bruges (1995), Edinburgh (1997), Kolding (1999), Pisa (2001), Twente (2003), Tampere (2005), Trento (2007), Münster (2009), Ghent (2010), Helsinki (2012), Copenhagen (2014), and Lisbon (2016). The Oslo-2018 MSAR conference continues and evolves themes established in previous conferences, and explicitly acknowledges and addresses (starting from the name) the service dimension in business environment as a relevant area for the accounting research perspective of the Conference. A direct engagement with operational processes has always been a central feature in the academic papers presented at the MAR (now MSAR) conference. Similar to the earlier conferences, the Oslo-2018 MSAR conference continues to welcome papers with a strong operational orientation. Such papers could relate to, for example the design and use of management and cost accounting, business analytics, management control, and performance management systems in all functional domains of the organization, the use in combination with advanced manufacturing or enterprise resource planning technology, and the use within customer-supplier and inter-organizational networks. For the Oslo-2018 MSAR conference, we specifically encourage papers on the use of technology within or in combination with business analytics and control & performance measurements systems. The design of technology-driven financial systems, the adoption and transition towards systems of business analytics, and the organizational and behavioural aspects of implementation, are examples of relevant topical categories. Papers that are interdisciplinary in nature are particularly welcome. This includes papers with an origin from outside the accounting discipline, papers which employ a non-mainstream research design, and papers that have a cross-disciplinary set of co-authors. The conference will consist of an opening session on business-analytics, provided from a practitioner and a scholarly perspective, and conceptually framed by a reputed, academic guest speaker. Academic papers are presented in concurrent sessions with all papers having a discussant. There is a dedicated track for PhD students and early-career researchers, with selected discussants from various editorial boards. A special event is organized with respect to the 25-year celebration of the MSAR research conferences (1993-2018). Attendants will be part of a WhatsApp group to receive further information on the conference’s activities and practical details. The conference is jointly organized by EIASM and BI Norwegian Business School.

BI Norwegian Business School is the main provider of research-based knowledge on business and management disciplines in Norway. Since its founding in 1943, BI has focused on bridging academia with practice. Three out of ten senior executives in Norway are graduates of BI. With 20 000 students, a unique range of study programmes and a solid commitment to research, BI is recognised as one of the largest and most productive academic environments in Europe. BI is the only Norwegian educational institution with triple accreditation (EQUIS, AACSB, AMBA). During the past few years, BI has climbed on the Financial Times rankings, and is now number 35 on the European business school ranking. The conference will take place at the Oslo campus, in the northern part of Oslo, occupying a privileged location near the Nydalen metro station and the Aker river that crosses the city of Oslo. Within 15-minute walk from the campus, the Norwegian forests of “Nordmarka” start, making it an ideal place for hiking and celebrating mid-Summer night.
Oslo is the capital city of Norway, located at the Oslo fjord, and has a long history going back to the Viking era. In the conference month of June, daylight is almost 22 hours, due to the northern latitude of the city. June 21 is the celebration of Mid-Summer night with no night fall at all. Oslo city has numerous attractions, eateries, and entertainment options, as well as acts as the point of departure for excursions to Norway’s many fjords and natural parks. You are welcome to extend your conference stay by visiting them, and celebrate Mid-Summer night with us!
ACCOMMODATION We suggest either one of the Nordic Choice Hotels in the city center, near the Oslo central station (Oslo S), from where it is 11-14 minutes with metro to Nydalen metro station.
Alternatively, the Radisson BLU Hotel Nydalen is located a one-minute walk across from the School; see https://www.radissonblu.com/en/hotelnydalen-oslo. Moreover, there are several low-cost accommodation options available in the area via AirBnB.
