授業の概要 Course Overview

Misson Statementとの関係性 / Connection to our Mission Statement

The present course stands on the NUCB mission. Specifically, the course contributes to dissemination of knowledge that develops the businesses and the societies. Furthermore, the course helps the business leaders control theif firms without any distortion and, thereby, ethically.

授業の目的(意義) / Importance of this course

In contrast to the financial accounting that provides information to the organization’s external stakeholders (e.g., capital market investors, loan providers, potential takeover acquirers, materials and parts suppliers, customers and the government), this course focuses exclusively on the accounting information that serves the internal stakeholders (i.e., top management, middle management, and shop-floor employees in different business functions) in order to facilitate and guide their decisions. Specifically, the course covers the issues of management accounting and control.

到達目標 / Achievement Goal


Firstly, the present course covers innovative management accounting and control tools that have become management jargons (e.g., standard costing, activity-based costing, Economic Value Added®, balanced scorecard), rather than the basic concepts and frameworks common in most textbooks. Secondly, this course collects independent tools rather than integrates the management accounting and control template. Thirdly, this course emphasizes cases that address application and implementation issues rather than explains the basic concepts and frameworks. Fourthly, this course uses real world cases that highlight the strengths and weaknesses of each tool rather than hypothetical cases that build accounting literacy. Lastly, this course includes cases that highlight Japanese control practices rather than cases that cover universal execution.

事前学修と事後学修の内容、レポート、課題に対するフィードバック方法 Pre- and Post-Course Learning, Report, Feedback methods

The lecturer teaches both the lecture and case discussion parts of each session interactively. The lecturer encourages active class contribution among students by asking questions and commenting on other students’ ideas. Although the lecturer leads the interactions, students should learn the discovery process in which they actively resolve the issues amongst themselves, and not passively wait for an “answer.” After Day 2, the lecturer informs each student of the interim class contribution grade so that he or she can improve in Days 3 and 4.

第2日(Day2)

• Decision Making upon Cost Accounting
Accounting information describes a business' economic reality in order to induce effective decisions. Accounting information either facilitates the manager's decision or influences the others'. The session focuses on the decision facilitation function by highlighting the decision making upon cost accounting information through the discussion of "Hilton Manufacturing Company".

第3日(Day3)

• Activity-Based Costing
Researchers recently propose activity-based costing (ABC) to replace the popluar standard costing. The session explains why ABC could lead to more effective decisions than the standard costing. Furthermore, the discussion of "Lehigh Steel" illustrates how to make effective decisions and identify the best cost accounting method.

• Economic Value Added®

The financial and nonfinancial measures must fit with the formulated strategy. At the same time, managers must formulate the strategy that allows mapping by financial and nonfinancial measures. The session outlines the balanced scorecard framework that incorporates both financial and nonfinancial measures and the disussion of "Transworld Auto Parts (A)" illustrates the relationship betwen strategy and management control, which drive corporate performance.
