Target Costing i Large Cap : -

Akhbari, Mohammad Reza, Wennberg, Eric January 2012 (has links)
Master Thesis G3 in Business Administration, Business School at Linnaeus University, Management Control, 4FE90E, Spring 2012 Authors: Mohammad Akhbari och Eric Wennberg Tutor: Jan Alpenberg Title: Target Costing in Large Cap Background and problem formulation: Since the 1980s, the product of the company has become increasingly important, because of increased competition and rapid technological development. To succeed in the Product development, “Target Costing” can be used as an important financial tool to calculate costs based on an established price and profit margin. Research shows that the method widely has been applied in Japan, but studies of the method’s prevalence in Sweden, however, are quite limited. Objectives: The purpose of this paper is to describe and analyze the Swedish companies applying “Target Costing” in their product development process. Furthermore, the study aims to analyze respondents’ dysfunctional, performance related, successfulness and dynamic experiences of the method. Finally, the intention is to interpret the correlation between the use and experiences of the method in relation to the corporate influential factors. The essay is limited to the companies listed on the “Large Cap” on the Stockholm Stock Exchange and engaged in activities related to product development. Theory: We have studied a variety of literature and articles that treat the Target Costing in its entirety within the product development processes. In our theoretical references one can find Ansari et al, Cooper, Robinson and several other researcher describing the implementation and performance factors of Target Costing. Method: The study is based on a quantitative survey carried out to 40 companies. The empirical data have been analyzed by theoretical studies and research in this area. Study findings and conclusions are finally discussed based on the thesis of reference. Conclusion: Target Costing is used by 22 of 32 companies on Large Cap, which amounts to 69 percent. The use is influenced by the factors; industrial type, sales orientation, profit margin, revenue and staff numbers. Correlations have also been established between their experiences and the factors mentioned above, where the sales approach excels. / Examensarbete G3 i företagsekonomi, Ekonomihögskolan vid Linnéuniversitet, ekonomistyrning, 4FE90E, VT 2012 Författare: Mohammad Akhbari och Eric Wennberg Handledare: Jan Alpenberg Titel: Target Costing i Large Cap Bakgrund: Sedan 1980-talet har produktutveckling i företag blivit allt viktigare på grund av ökad internationell konkurrens samt en snabbare teknisk utveckling. För att lyckas i produktionsutvecklingen framställs ”Target Costing” som ett viktigt ekonomistyrningsmedel för att kalkylera kostnader utifrån ett fastslaget pris och vinstmarginal. Forskning visar på att metoden i stor utsträckning tillämpas i Japan, där studier kring metodens förekomst i Sverige däremot är tämligen begränsat. Syfte: Syftet med denna uppsats är att beskriva och analysera tillämpning av ”Target Costing” i produktutvecklingsprocess hos svenska börsbolag. Vidare syftar studien till att analysera respondenternas dysfunktionella, prestationsmässiga, framgångsmässiga och dynamiska erfarenheter kring metoden. Slutligen är avsikten att tolka samband mellan företagens användning och erfarenheter kring metoden gentemot företagens påverkande faktorer. Uppsatsen är begränsad till att omfatta börsbolag noterade vid ”Large Cap” på stockholmsbörsen och som bedriver verksamhet som innefattar produktutveckling. Referensram: Vi har studerat en mängd litteratur och artiklar som behandlar “Target Costing” i sin helhet inom produktutvecklingsprocessen. I våra teoretiska referenser återfinns bland annat Ansari et al, Cooper, Robinson, och flera andra forskare som beskriver implementering och prestationsfaktorer av ”Target Costing”. Metod: Studien baseras på en kvantitativ enkätundersökning som genomförts på 40 företag. Det empiriska materialet har analyserats efter teoretiska studier samt tidigare forskning på området. Studiens resultat och slutsatser har avslutningsvis diskuterats utifrån uppsatsens referensram. Slutsatser: Förekomst av ”Target Costing” i bolag på ”Large Cap”, uppgår till 69 procent. Användningen påverkas av följande faktorer: industrityp, försäljningsinriktning, vinstmarginal, omsättning och antalet anställda. Samband har även påvisats mellan företagens erfarenheter och ovanstående faktorer, där försäljningsinriktning utmärker sig.

Contribution à l'étude de la qualité de l'audit : une approche fondée sur le management des équipes et le comportement des auditeurs / Contribution to the Study of disfunctional behaviors of financial Auditors

Gaddour, Inès 21 November 2016 (has links)
Cette étude développe et teste empiriquement un modèle explicatif des comportements dysfonctionnels des auditeurs financiers. La revue de la littérature permet d'identifier les principaux facteurs ayant un impact significatif sur les dysfonctionnements (pression budgétaire et des délais...). Cette recherche propose d'étendre le périmètre des déterminants sous un angle relationnel et managérial. À cette fin, elle mobilise principalement l'approche de la relation supérieur - subordonné (LMX), mais aussi le role modeling et le style d'évaluation de la performance des auditeurs.Notre étude repose sur un questionnaire soumis aux auditeurs seniors opérant dans les grands réseaux de commissariat aux comptes constituant les principaux acteurs du marché de l'audit en France, plus précisément d'origines anglo-saxonne (Big 4) et française (Mazars).Pour tester nos hypothèses, la méthode d'estimation retenue est celle de type Seemingly Unrelated Regression (SUR).Les analyses soulignent que les trois dimensions du LMX, à savoir affection, loyauté et contribution ont un impact négatif et significatif sur les comportements adaptatifs (respectivement comportements non professionnels : CNP, mauvaise gestion de l’équipe d’audit : MGE et comportements réducteurs de qualité : QTB). En outre, les résultats mettent en lumière que, sous l’effet de mimétisme, les comportements managériaux adoptés par un supérieur réduisent le MGE, le QTB et le CNP. De plus, il a été observé qu’une perception favorable du soutien organisationnel et une évaluation axée sur des critères sociaux entraînent respectivement moins de QTB et de MGE. Enfin, certains résultats confirment ceux des recherches antérieures quant à l’impact du style d’évaluation basée sur des critères techniques, de l’engagement affectif, et de la pression liée au budget et aux délais sur les comportements dysfonctionnels. / This study develops and empirically tests an explanatory model in order to study the dysfunctional behaviors of financial auditors.The literature review allows to identify the main factors having a significant impact on malfunctions (budget pressure, time deadline pressure...). This research proposes extending the scope of the determinants in a relational and managerial perspective. To this end, it mobilizes mainly Leader-Member Exchange theory (LMX), but also the role modeling and the assessment style of auditors performance.Our study is based on a questionnaire which was sent to senior auditors who work in the large auditing networks which constitute the main actors of the audit market in France, specifically of Anglo-Saxon (Big 4) and French (Mazars) origins.To test our hypotheses, the estimation method of Seemingly Unrelated Regression (SUR) was applied.The results show that the three dimensions of Leader Member-Exchange (LMX), namely affection, loyalty and contribution have a negative and significant impact on the adaptive behaviors (respectively unprofessional behaviors: CNP, mismanagement of the audit team: MGE and Quality-Threatening Behavior: QTB). Also, results highlight under the effect of mimetic, managerial behaviors adopted by a superior have been shown to reduce the MGE, but also QTB and CNP. In addition, it was revealed that a favorable perception of organizational support and an evaluation focused on social criteria result in less QTB and MGE respectively.Finally, the analyses confirm the results of previous research concerning the impact of the style assessment based on technical criteria, affective commitment, budget pressure and time deadline pressure on such types of behavior.
