| Research Abstract |
The purpose of the present study is to discuss the potential research fields, challenges and relevant research methods regarding the introduction processes research of management accounting. The present study concludes :
1. Extant literature of the introduction process research of management accounting has employed the framework of studies on the introduction of management information systems. Thus, the introduction process research of management accounting needs to extract factors unique to the theories that are not included in the framework of management information systems. The unique factors can be identified through examination of theory-based systems such as ABC/ABM and Balanced Scorecard.
2. Innovation action research advocated by Kaplan should be included in the field of introduction process research of management accounting.
3. Examination of the practice-based systems can lead to new theories that do not currently exist in management accounting. Studies investigating the transfer of target costing outside Japan or to not-for-profit organizations are good examples.
4. Introduction process research of management accounting is should attract attention and cooperation from both for-profit and not-for-profit organizations because there is a need for innovative management accounting theories.
