Research and Intellectual Interests

Bhimani has contributed to the development of comparative management accounting as an independent research discipline. He has conducted historical investigations on the emergence of accounting mechanisms indicative of the dependencies between structural accounting controls and cultural shifts over time. His research on accounting determinants of default investigates the role of non-financial information in averting financial crises. He has also investigated issues relating to accounting and digitization, big data and analytics.

His books discuss management accounting research, with particular reference to practical organizational innovations such as activity-based management, target costing, strategic management accounting and budgetary control systems. His co-authored book with Michael Bromwich, entitled Management Accounting: Evolution not Revolution (1989), discusses strategic investment appraisal

Bhimani’s second co-authored book with Bromwich, Management Accounting: Pathways to Progress (1994), talks about problems of maintaining a short-term and internally focused orientation to management accounting information in strong global competition. It has received fairly positive reviews, and considered as ‘rich’ and ‘diverse’ by The Accounting Review.

Another of his books, Strategic Finance: Achieving High Corporate Performance (2015), looks at enterprise management, innovation and digitization.
