Description

The focus of this unit is on how organisations plan and control performance. We explore how organisations establish strategies to create and sustain stakeholder value. Once established, a strategy requires that an organisation's structure is aligned with it, that internal business processes deliver attributes that are valued by customers, and that employees continue to be motivated for its successful implementation. We demonstrate that management accounting plays a very significant role in supporting and directing these requirements for successful implementation of organisational strategies.
