Abstract

The term Strategic Management Accounting (SMA) was coined in the 1980's to both describe and encourage the development of accounting techniques that addressed strategic decision-making. This prompted the production of books and research papers into SMA techniques. However, there is very little research into how management accounting supports strategy making. Adopting the lens of strategy-as-practice and utilising a narrative research
approach this developmental paper addresses the question: How does management accounting support the strategic management process? Although the term strategic management accounting may not be appropriate, there is evidence that management accounting supports the practice and praxis
associated with the strategic management process via a range of activities and artifacts, that could be described as the 'stuff' of strategizing, with accountants
contributing as practitioners involved in analysing, evaluating, interpreting, educating, and generally supporting the activity of strategizing.
