In particular, a systems approach employing cluster analysis is used to determine the existence of a management accounting typology of firms. Using this empircially derived cluster solution, the further aims of the study are to identify which typological group is better perfroming, based on a weighted average measure of performance of member firms in each Management accounting system (MAS)/Management accounting techniques (MAPT)-type group. The final aims is to model and test a set of predictors of the better and weaker performing MAS/MAPT-type groups of firms. --p. xvi. / http://proxy.library.adelaide.edu.au/login?url= http://library.adelaide.edu.au/cgi-bin/Pwebrecon.cgi?BBID=1278431 / Thesis (Ph.D.) -- University of Adelaide, School of Commerce, 2007

The activity-based costing (ABC) system is a cost allocation technique which appears to have many benefits over the traditional costing systems. However, companies that have attempted to implement ABC have encountered various difficulties. Thus, there is a need to investigate the problems faced by companies while implementing ABC. The main objective of this study was to find solutions to overcome the problems encountered by South African companies during the implementation of an activity-based costing system.
