Abstract

Running a business in such a way that it creates value for its shareholders, while staying focused on customers, is a management accounting challenge. On the one hand, the shareholders want the value of their investment to increase; on the other, the customers demand competitively priced products based on a sound understanding of their needs. These requirements reflect potentially conflicting interests. Can they be seen as complementary and, if so, to what extent?
