    <p>This study explores how management accounting encourages employees to make lateral interaction under the situation that management accounting is not designed in order to encourage to drive lateral interaction. "Support" concept enables to reinterpret lateral interaction. This paper focuses on interaction between direct and indirect departments and encouraging indirect ones to create active support. In addition, the analytical framework includes job rotation as well as using management accounting as information infrastructure. This study found that not only interdepartmental share of knowledge and information by job rotation but also using management accounting as information infrastructure encourages indirect departments to make lateral interaction. There are two implications. First one pointed out the new role of management accounting under the situation that management accounting is not designed in order to encourage to drive lateral interaction. Second one is that support concept enables to expand interpretation of lateral interaction.</p>

    This study reviews both domestic and overseas&#039; studies in order to organize TDABC researchand lead future direction. Domestic studies principally adopt the theoretical approach andare composed of three kinds of themes such as the calculation of TDABC, the usefulness of TDABCas capacity management, the comparability and adaptability of TDABC with the other calculationmethods. In contrast, Overseas&#039; studies adopt the experimental approach or the case study and areable to be divided into the calculation of TDABC and the practical influence by TDABC (or themixed study). The common theme between domestic and overseas&#039; studies is the calculation of TDABC,which is classified into two dimensions such as the framework and the experimental research.It is suggested how the framework should include variation of action brought by the individual attributionand interaction between individuals while the experimental research should verify whatelements are required to be effective in suppressing the tradeoff between errors in the calculationof TDABC as well as should treat the issues based on the research design or quality of data anduse the involvement study like the action research. In conclusion, this paper organized both domesticand overseas&#039; TDABC studies conducting in-depth reviews of them, showed the common themeto visualize the trend of TDABC research by the organized researches, and demonstrated the futureissues of TDABC research based on the common theme.

    The purpose of this research is to explore how the use of management accounting in a front line makes influence on building the interactive network while management accounting is institutionalized in an organization. This paper actually adopts a case study based on the perspective of the institutional theory. In conclusion, there are four elements to influence building the interactive network ; first, to make organizational members share not only profit targets within their responsibility but also superior ones ; second, to make them share the normative values to achieve profit targets ; third, to encourage them to improve using management accounting system as well as understand information provided by it ; last, to adapt to uncertainties and provide institutional basis for decision making via accounting routine.

    This paper reveals the significance and issue of adopting Simons&#039;Levers of Control(LOC)as an analytical framework of Management Control Systems based on reviews of Simons&#039; and other previous studies. The significance of adopting LOC is to provide an analytical framework in order to understand how a top manager selects and uses formal information systems and promotes organizational members to learn necessary things to adapt environmental change and maintain or change organizational behavior. In addition, the issue of adopting LOC has &quot;a confusion between beliefs and boundaries systems&quot; and &quot;a confusion between diagnostic and interactive control systems&quot;. Especially, the latter suggests researchers should pay attention to three points such as &quot;share of information&quot;, &quot;dual use ofinformation&quot; and &quot;frequency of use&quot; when they interpret findings from case studies.

    This paper reveals what is the remained issue of profit management at low level.Profit management at low level means that an organization empowers low-level managers and employees and gives them accountability to achieve profit targets. For example, Micro-Profit Center (MPC) is one of the representatives. Here, four topics are explored based on reviews of previous studies. First, what areas are set to research the low levels? Second, what does the deference of interdependence influence ramifications of profit center at low level? Third, what effect is expected when profit responsibility is given to a ramified center? Last, what role is requested using accounting information at low level? The conclusion of this paper provides several future issues to carry out more advanced research.

    This study developed the theoretical framework which enables to interpret how accounting routine is transferred and institutionalized in the process to adopt management accounting systems. To be concrete, we replaced transfer of accounting routine with transfer of management accounting knowledge, and drew the process to transfer its knowledge via knowledgeability of sources and recipients. The framework enables to analyze the flow from transfer to institutionalization as the continuous process while previous studies only focused on transfer.

    The objective of this research is to develop a methodology for providing attractive services at low costs with a view to improving the profitability of the service industry. The difficulty of identifying customer needs accurately was generally held responsible for the delayed improvement in restoring profitability. However, our field research and questionnaire studies have pointed to the uncertainty as to a return on investment to be used for improvement and the underestimation of opportunity losses due to customer dissatisfaction as major hindrances to the effective implementation of improvement schemes. A model of a strategic supporting tool has also been suggested.

    The purpose of this study is to reveal how accounting information is used in organizations which implement the management of profit at lower level (ex. a manufacturing setting or a site to provide service). Specifically, the author conducted a case study in order to explore (1)the subject of use, (2)the object of use, and (3)the way of use for accounting information. In conclusion, a manager principally uses accounting information, and there would be the involvement of top management according to organizational context (the extent of maturity and ability of organizational members).
