Strategic Management Accounting on Competitive Advantage
Pages 1 - 17
Abstract
This study investigates the effect of business strategy on strategic management accounting (SMA) and its indirect effect on the competitive advantage of the rice export business in Thailand. A total of 215 major rice export businesses in Thailand in 2022 are chosen as the sample population, and data are collected. The results of the structural equation model (SEM) of the analysis model are found using an index that examines the absolute quality-of-fit measure. Additionally, the results of ordinary least squares (OLS) regression analysis, path coefficients, and hypothesis testing show that business strategy positively affects SMA. In addition, SMA plays a positive and significant role in competitive advantage. As for the theoretical contribution, conceptual SMA is explained by a resource-based view that focuses on resources influence on sustainable performance through competitive advantage. It is hoped that the present study will contribute significantly to the managerial contribution of rice export businesses, as SMA could support organizations in creating a competitive advantage.
