| Abstract: | This paper compares and contrasts alternative measures of activity-based cost management (ABCM) success in models testing ABCM success determinants. Both a priori and factor-analysis approaches are examined. The a priori measures examined are: decision use (including by area of use, by business function, and by manager group); decision actions taken; dollar improvements; and management evaluation as to overall success of ABCM. |
