摘要
Although empirical methods have gained momentum in the business research community lately, there has been little effort, so far, to utilize laboratory experiments for advancing the field of management accounting research. This article presents the state of the art in experimental management accounting research. First, the method's current popularity amongst researchers in this field is established via a review of existing literature analyses covering empirical management accounting research. Second, a description of potential uses, designs and methodological limitations of laboratory experiments is given. Third, a comprehensive review of the relevant literature body, based on a specifically developed conceptual model, resulting in a map of topics and variables follows. Internationally there is evidence for the use of laboratory experiments for gaining further insights into both classical management accounting functions, decision influencing and decision facilitating. Furthermore, a wide body of research is available to further exploitation by the management accounting research community, emanating from the fields of individual decision making, decision support systems and management information systems. © 2008 Springer-Verlag Obwohl empirische Methoden in der betriebswirtschaftlichen Forschung in den letzten Jahren deutlich an Bedeutung gewonnen haben, gibt es bislang nur wenige Beispiele für den Einsatz von Laborexperimenten im Bereich der Controllingforschung. Der vorliegende Beitrag fasst den aktuellen Stand zur experimentellen Controllingforschung zusammen. An eine Metaanalyse zur Verbreitung der Methode in diesem Feld schließt sich eine Betrachtung zu Anwendungsfeldern, Versuchsanordnungen und Beschränkungen an. Im Rahmen einer umfassenden Literaturanalyse experimenteller Studien werden unter anderem Themenfelder identifiziert sowie die Verteilung untersuchter abhängiger und unabhängiger Variablen analysiert. Hierzu wird ein universal einsetzbares Analyseraster verwendet. © 2008 Springer-Verlag.
