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
