Tatikonda, Lakshmi
- Abstract
The article offers information on the Lean philosophy, and proposes the application of this principle in accounting education. Lean philosophy is a system that provides value to the customer. It was developed by Toyota Motor Co. in order to compete with U.S. companies after World War II. Lean is a systematic way of eliminating waste, simplifying operations, and aligning all parts of the value chain. The author argues that by applying this principle, educators can refine the content, pedagogy, organization, and assessment methods employed in their accounting courses to help ensure that students gain the knowledge and skills that will make them most desirable to employers.
