Multinational managers often retain sole control of private, unobservable information. Such information can allow managers to bias planning decisions in their favor, and in some cases, to manipulate accounting-based performance measurements. Even if managers clearly understand their authorities and responsibilities, and are fully capable of performing them, it is unreasonable to expect them to perform them in the absence of proper incentives, monetary and otherwise.
Therefore, it is wise for a firm to exercise care in structuring incentive contracts in such a way that its multinational managers act in the overall best interest of the organization. The most optimal incentive contracts will empower employees to perform in ways desired by the organization.
Analyze cross-border factors that impact multinational incentive contract design
Apply methods for adapting managerial accounting systems to account for cross-border differences in management incentive contracts
Develop critical analysis and research skills toward building a knowledge base in business and management
Write a 12 page paper that addresses relevant theories and empirical research, leading to a significant research topic, problem, and research question(s). Approach your topic by providing an academic argument that would support a deeper understanding of the relationship between transaction cost and principal-agent theory and optimal managerial accounting systems design in a multinational enterprise setting. You do not have to actually design a study to the point of specifying research measures of effective managerial accounting practices in a multinational setting or specify samples, but try to evolve your thinking to the point of framing a relevant research topic, problem, and question(s) on which your proposed research would be focused.

ii. What does the scholarly literature say? Provide a few sentences (e.g. three to five) summarizing the key messages of each of your four or five main references. Ensure that your references are of high quality.
Provide complete citations. The proposal has to contain a critical
review of the relevant scholarly articles. In short, you need to read
several scholarly articles, select the relevant ones, and provide concise summaries in the proposal. It is not enough merely to list the scholarly articles, or simply to say that they exist.
iii. What is the specific methodology that you plan to use? Explain three or four alternative methodologies, select one, and provide strong reasons why it was selected. If you plan to use numerical methods, provide the specific equations that you plan to use, and discuss your approach to the calculations. A good literature review should assist
your methodology selection, whether quantitative or qualitative. What are the methodologies that other scholarly articles have used? How did their methodologies assist in answering their research questions? How different or similar is your research question to theirs? How different or similar is your methodology to theirs? As you go through the scholarly literature, you should be able to find the various methodologies that have been used, and select the one that is relevant to your work.
