Abstract
In this response to Ahrens [Ahrens, T. (2008). Overcoming the subjective-objective divide in interpretive management accounting research. Accounting, Organizations and Society, 33(2-3), 292-297] we clarify both the motivation and the core points of the Kakkuri-Knuuttila et al. [Kakkuri-Knuuttila, M.-L., Lukka, K., & Kuorikoski, J. (2008). Straddling between paradigms: A naturalistic philosophical case study on interpretive research in management accounting. Accounting, Organizations and Society, 33(2-3), 267-291] paper. We remind the management accounting academia that we should be careful not to close prematurely examinations and debates on issues, which are not yet truly resolved.
