MULTIPLE DISCIPLINES
A fusion of several disciplines
TVM Value Accountancy is a fusion of some of the key principles of engineering, management,
human behavior and accountancy.
The key characteristics of engineering that are incorporated
into TVM Value Accountancy come mainly from engineering thermodynamics, control theory,
hydraulics and aerodynamics.
Ideas from the area of management relate to how get knowledge
converted into value.
Ideas from human behavior are included because, if not, the chance of
anything being of value is very much diminished.
Principles from the established field of corporate accountancy are used because they are are
surprisingly close to what is needed ... and simply need some relatively modest modification to make them
work for the socio-enviro-economic system as a whole rather than merely for the corporate and financial subset of the system.
