| Summary: | Kan Enterprises is a case about management accounting and control, and the problems that may arise when businesses are large, and divisions managed at a distance. The case, presented in three parts that build on each other, is viewed from the perspective of the CEO of a holding company in Hong Kong, and the directors of a recently-acquired business based in the UK. The technical accounting covered includes cost behaviour, standard costing and variance analysis, and return on assets. The discursive questions cover management incentives and other performance measures, and issues surrounding management behaviour and management decision-making. The case tests the abilities of students to manipulate accounting data and work in groups to propose solutions to management problems. |
