| Research Abstract |
The purpose of this study is to discuss and to examine empirically aspects of the corporate strategy-accounting system relationship. So far from our research, we have identified four strategic types-the Defender, the Reactor, the Analyzer, and the Prospector. These strategic types help design the Accounting Information Systems.
In sum, our studies have indicated that : (1) organizations engage in a variety of strategies to stabilize conditions in their environments, (2) each strategic type has its own unique accounting system of response to environment conditions, (3) interdependencies between the corporate strategy and the accounting system exist.
Then, the environment of managerial accounting undergoes the changes, the demands for new managerial accounting systems are ever increasing. Many innovative (strategic) firms have been adopting new techniques-such as JIT, FMS, CAD/CAM, CIM, etc. -to improve their productivity and competitive strength. FMS has already been installed at many companies. The availability of FMS -and eventually CIM -will bring fundamental changes to Japan industry in many ways.
