Study of the relationship between product costing systems and strategic analysis. Strategic planning depends heavily on the output of cost accounting systems since decisions based on incorrect product costs are likely to be wrong. Furthermore, productivity improvements cannot usually be made unless reliable cost data are available. Recently many firms have discovered that their cost systems do not supply reasonable information.
