Managerial Tools and Techniques for Decision Making

The main aim of this chapter is to explain what considered as managerial tools and techniques for decision making in the area of management accounting and how they developed and evolved over the time. This chapter is intended to help us document the innovation, evolution and the adoption of a variety of relatively new management accounting techniques and practices in organisations. The chapter also looks at primary tasks/services performed by managerial techniques and tools to capture a wider range of techniques/tools that contribute to the conduction of managerial asks/services but may not be listed as managerial tools in the literature. In doing so, the article first reviews the introduction of management accounting techniques of the past few decades in the literature and then investigates their implementations in practice. Exploring the levels of organizational satisfactions with adopted management accounting innovations in practice, the article finally discusses the level of associations between the adoption of management accounting innovations and organisational satisfaction
