    Strategic Problems - Microsoft

    Over the past few years, Microsoft has been suffering from their reputation as a follower since Apple and Google have taken the lead in the world of smartphones and tablets. Microsoft’s Xbox business keeps them ahead in the gaming industry (34% market share) which will keep them relevant and afloat in the 13-30 age demographic, but the company overall could use an upgrade in its reputation as a cutting-edge innovator. One key will be identifying and capitalizing on the next big shifts in devices and services, as cloud-connected technologies become smaller and more deeply integrated into our lives. Microsoft should take advice from their former CFO John Connors, “If you look at the shifts in the device world, the shifts have happened pretty regularly. So they’ve got to emerge as a leader in the next big shift, and that will be his great challenge, but also his great opportunity.”…

    Strategic Management Accounting

    Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to provide a review of the origins of strategic management accounting and to assess the extent of adoption and “success” of strategic management accounting (SMA). Design/methodology/approach – Empirical papers which have directly researched SMA and prior review papers of the adoption and implementation of SMA or SMA techniques are reviewed. As well as assessing the extent of adoption of SMA and the reasons underlying an apparent low adoption rate, the role of accountants in adopting and implementing SMA is considered. Finally, the success or otherwise of SMA is discussed. Findings – SMA or SMA techniques have not been adopted widely, nor is the term SMA widely understood or used. However, aspects of SMA have had an impact, influencing the thinking and language of business, and the way in which we undertake various business processes. These issues cut across the wider domain of management, and are not just the province of management accountants. Research limitations/implications – There is limited value in conducting future surveys of the adoption and implementation of SMA or SMA techniques. Rather, the focus should be on how SMA-inspired techniques and processes diffuse into general practice within organizations. Originality/value – Twenty-five years after the term strategic management accounting was first introduced in the literature, this paper brings together disparate literature and provides a broad assessment of the “state-of-the-art” of strategic management accounting to inform researchers and practitioners. Keywords Strategic management, Accounting, Activity based costs, Budgetary control, Target costs Paper type Literature review…
