THE EMERGENCE AND EVOLUTION OF MODERN COSTING METHODS: A HISTORICAL PERSPECTIVE

Öz

This study examines the historical development of cost accounting and aims to explain the transition from traditional to modern costing methods after the 1950s. The primary objective of the study is to assess the emergence and development of modern costing methods within a historical context. The study systematically analyzes the country and by whom each modern costing method was developed, and the academic works in which it was first introduced. This approach examines the transition from traditional to modern costing from a holistic perspective, not only as a technical transformation but also as an intellectual, theoretical, and managerial evolution. The findings demonstrate that the traditional costing approach, shaped by the industrial revolution, acquired a strategic dimension with increasing competition, automation, and developments in information technology from the mid-20th century onward. This transformation paved the way for the emergence of approaches such as Activity-Based Costing, Theory of Constraints, Target Costing, Kaizen Costing, Quality Costing, Product Life Cycle Costing, Just-in-Time Production, Environmental Accounting, and Value Stream Costing. Each method developed in response to the production technologies and management paradigms of its time, eventually forming the integral building blocks of modern cost management. In this respect, the study aims to address the historical and conceptual gap in the literature by revealing the historical foundations of knowledge production in the accounting discipline and the intellectual roots of the modern cost management approach.
