Abstract

The purpose of this paper is to investigate the degree of use of strategic management accounting (SMA) techniques and the main factors affecting this in the Czech Republic. In order to achieve such an understanding, we apply a quantitative approach, rooted in contingency theory, including descriptive statistics, correlation analysis and regression analysis. The most intensively-used SMA techniques are strategic planning and budgeting, customer accounting, and target costing. The least-used are integrated performance measurement systems, strategic pricing and activity-based costing. Our respondents indicated that they expect an increase in the use of all SMA techniques over the next 3 years. Regression analysis confirms that the implementation of differentiation strategy (as opposed to cost leadership strategy) has a statistically significant and positive influence on SMA use. The findings of this study contribute to the better theoretical understanding of the contingent factors influencing the use of SMA techniques.
