AngularJS Module is undefined while creating service using Factory method

Question

I am learning AngularJS in MVC and created service to pass my model to Angular Controller. But It gives me error

JavaScript runtime error: 'accountModule' is undefined

This is what I am doing:

AccountController.cs

public ViewResult Index()
{
    var accounts = new List<Accounts>
                        {
                            new Accounts
                                {
                                    Id = 111,
                                    Designation = "Tech Lead",
                                    Name = "AAA"
                                },
                            new Accounts
                                {
                                    Id = 222,
                                    Designation = "Softwre Engineer",
                                    Name = "BBB"
                                },
                            new Accounts
                                {
                                    Id = 111,
                                    Designation = "Project Manager",
                                    Name = "CCC"
                                }
                        };

    var settings = new JsonSerializerSettings
                        {
                            ContractResolver = new CamelCasePropertyNamesContractResolver()
                        };

    var accountJson = JsonConvert.SerializeObject(accounts, Formatting.None, settings);

    return this.View("Index", (object)accountJson);
}

Index.cshtml

<script type="text/javascript" src="../../Scripts/Modules/Account/Account.js"></script>

    <div ng-controller="accountController">
        <h1>{{message}}</h1>

                            Designation
                        </td>
                    </tr>
                    <tr ng-repeat="emp in employees">
                        <td>

                        </td>
                        <td>
                            {{emp.designation}}
                        </td>
                    </tr>
                </table>
            </div>
        </div>
        <div>
            @*{{emps}}*@
        </div>
    </div>
</div>

<script type="text/javascript">

    accountModule.factory('accountService', function() {
            var factory = {};

            factory.employees = @Html.Raw(Model);

            return factory;
        });

</script>

Account.js

var account = angular.module('accountModule',[]);

account.controller('accountController', [
    '$scope', 'accountService', function ($scope, accountService) {


        $scope.employees = accountService.employees;

        $scope.message = "Hi on " + (new Date()).toDateString();
    }
]);

I don't understand where I am going wrong.

You need to move the inline script right after the account.js.

Also the variable should be account instead of accountModule

Code

<script src="angular.js"></script>
<script src="app.js"></script>
<script src="account.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript">
//account.factory('accountService', function() { //this is alternative use below one
angular.module('accountModule').factory('accountService', function() {
    var factory = {};

    factory.employees = @Html.Raw(Model);

    return factory;
});
</script>
