摘要:战略管理会计(SMA)是近年来兴起的一支新的会计学分支学科,是企业战略管理理念与管理会计理论相结合的产物。它将对财务信息的使用占主导地位的管理会计扩展到一个注重前瞻性、长期性和关注企业如何适应、协调、利用瞬息万变外部条件与内部条件的关系以取得整体上更优的战略效果,帮助企业确立长久不衰竞争优势。战略管理会计的理论与应用在国际上还处于摸索阶段,在我国更是如此。为推动战略管理会计在我国的发展,本文介绍了其产生背景与主要内容。 Abstract: Strategic management accounting (SMA) is a relatively new developed approach to management accounting that address issues and concerns which are strategic oriented.
