Abstract

Organizations increasingly use algorithms - i.e., computerized routines that automatically trigger actions or decisions - in areas as diverse as production scheduling, changing product prices, and evaluating employees. In this chapter, we focus on the use of algorithms for performance measurement and management control. We review extant literature, much of which is located in organizational, management, and information systems studies. We consider the implications of this research for accounting and propose a future research agenda that seeks to investigate the origins and effects of algorithmic management in organizational control.
