Intermediate Management Accounting
Assessed coursework topic/question:
A key role of management accounting is to inform investment decisions aimed at establishing and improving a firm’s competitive advantage. Often, however, the successful pursuit of competitive advantage by any one firm depends on how effectively its investments can be coordinated with those of other firms in a network or “ecosystem”.
Write an essay that analyses why inter-firm coordination of investment decisions is important, and that examines critically the kinds of inter-firm accounting and information sharing systems being designed to enable such coordination.
Your essay should be based on relevant materials from this course and on your own research.
