This study is divided into the three dimensions below: (1) Constructing framework for historical development of Target Costing; (2)Researches on the Target Costing development; (3)The current practices of Target Costing. (1)A new framework for Target Costing development was constructed by focusing on the Value Engineering (VE) as a social and institutional practice.

Historical materials analyzed and interviews are conducted in these researches.
