| Research Abstract |
In management accounting field, prior researches in capital budgeting tend to center on the methods of making decision of their plan. In this project, we investigate decision making processes of capital budgeting especially focused on investments on product systems. Also, we examine some factors that affect decision making process on investment.
To approach these issues, we first carry out interviews to the firms. By interviews to the firms, we find that the decision making processes are quite different among the firms and it might be affected by the factors like the intensity of the competition and the rapidness of technological development.
Based on these findings, we conduct the questionnaire survey. We sent the questionnaire to the 837 companies which listed in section one of the Tokyo stock exchange and also belong to the Mining, Foods, Textiles ＆ Apparels, Pulp ＆ Paper, Chemicals, Pharmaceutical, Oil and Coal Products, Rubber products, Glass and Ceramics products, Iron ＆ Steel, Nonferrous Metals, Metal Products, Machinery, Electric Appliances, Transportation Equipments, Precision Instruments and Other Products. 187 companies responded to the survey.
The main findings of the survey are the following.
1. Many Japanese companies adopts "Pay-back period" for decision making.
2. Japanese companies tend to use more than two methods for decision making
3. Japanese companies often fix the amount of the spending for production systems at fiscal budgeting and keep to it.
4. The methods of decision making are often used at the planning phase of project in Japanese company.
5. Head quarter tend to decide the adoption of the production system when the amount of the spending is high. Divisions tend to decide the adoption of the production system when the amount of the spending is low
6. Head quarter tend to involve in deliberation phase and/or determination phase, however not in planning phase
