introduCtion
In the 1980s management accounting was criticised for becoming too internally
focused on operational issues and was providing little help to managers making
strategic decisions. The term strategic management accounting (SMA) was
introduced by Simmonds (1981, p.26) and defined by him as ‘the provision and
analysis of management accounting data about a business and its competitors,
for use in developing and monitoring business strategy’.
Since then several attempts have been made to refine this definition and identify
a set of techniques that can be classified under the banner of SMA. However
there has been little agreement within the academic and professional literature
on the definition of SMA and the associated techniques, nor is the term widely
used by practising accountants (Langfield-Smith, 2008; Jorgensen and
Messner; 2010; Nixon et al., 2011).
