In a useful follow-up to my previous post concerning finding yourself at a conference that did not quite meet your needs, I can now present the opposite outcome. Over the last week I attend 2 further conferences and, thankfully, I can report that these experiences gifted me some very useful material and connections. Conference 1:

Wootton and Kemmerer (2007) provide a fascinating analysis of the introduction and adoption of ‘Mechanical Accounting’ in the US during the industrial
