MEASURING THE EFFECT OF STRATEGIC MANAGEMENT ACCOUNTING TECHNIQUES ON MAKING INVESTMENT DECISIONS OF SMEs: EASTERN ANATOLIAN CASE

Öz

The aim of this study is to measure the effect of the strategic management accounting techniques used by manufacturing firms operating in Erzurum and Erzincan provinces on their investment decisions. The research was conducted on 87 manufacturing SMEs in these two provinces. Quantitative research design was used in the study. A scale developed by Jbarah (2018) was used to collect data. Data were obtained through face-to-face interviews with senior executives of companies. Multiple linear regression analysis was used to test hypotheses in the research model. The dependent variable of the model is investment decisions of firms, whereas the independent variables are components of strategic management accounting techniques (just in time production, balance score card and cost targeting). As a result, it has been observed that the usage of strategic management accounting techniques by manufacturing SMEs in Erzurum and Erzincan has a moderate influence on making investment decisions in a complex and dynamic economic environment.

STRATEJİK YÖNETİM MUHASEBESİ TEKNİKLERİNİN KOBİ’LERİN YATIRIM KARARI ALMA ÜZERİNDEKİ ETKİSİNİN ÖLÇÜMÜ: DOĞU ANADOLU ÖRNEĞİ

Öz

Bu çalışmanın amacı, Erzurum ve Erzincan illerinde faaliyet gösteren imalatçı firmaların kullandıkları stratejik yönetim muhasebe tekniklerinin yatırım kararları üzerindeki etkisini ölçmektir. Araştırma Erzurum ve Erzincan illerindeki 87 KOBİ niteliğindeki üretici firmalar üzerinde yürütülmüştür. Veri toplamak için Jbarah (2018) tarafından geliştirilen bir ölçek kullanılmıştır. Veriler, şirketlerin üst düzey yöneticileriyle yüz yüze görüşülerek elde edilmiştir. Araştırma modelinde hipotezleri test etmek için çoklu doğrusal regresyon analizi kullanılmıştır. Modelin bağımlı değişkeni firmaların yatırım kararları iken, bağımsız değişkenler tam zamanında üretim, kurumsal karne ve hedef maliyetleme olan stratejik yönetim muhasebesi tekniklerinin bileşenleridir. Sonuç olarak, Erzurum ve Erzincan’daki imalatçı KOBİ'lerin stratejik yönetim muhasebe yöntemlerini kullanmalarının, karmaşık ve dinamik ekonomik ortamda yatırım kararı almaları üzerindeki etkisinin orta düzeyde olduğu görülmüştür.
