The result is that currently few studies and researches, both at national and
international level, are aimed to analyze the specificities of such realities. Project
Management’s topics have become, by contrast a primary field of study and
research of other scientific fields, first of all of engineering. This lack of focus can
be considered a relevant gap in accounting research because of the significant
specificity in terms both of planning and control systems and of information
systems which characterize these businesses.
On the basis of these premises the aim of this chapter is to highlight the
relationships between information systems, management accounting and project
management. For each dimension we will analyze the tools and techniques suitable
to manage the different phases in which a project can be articulated.
