This research studied the perceived level of importance and perceived need for
management accounting among entrepreneurs of SMEs (small and medium
enterprises) in the Upper North Region of Thailand (northern Thailand). Having
measured this, the study then examined the relationship between perceived importance
and need as well as any differences in perceptions between entrepreneurs at small
versus medium-enterprises. Data were collected from 422 SME entrepreneurs in northern
Thailand via questionnaires. The collected data were analyzed by descriptive statistics
including frequency, percentage, mean, and standard deviation. Correlation coefficient was
used to analyze the relationship between the SME entrepreneurs’ perceived
level of importance and need for management accounting. T-test was used to
analyze any differences in perceived importance and need between entrepreneurs
at small versus medium-sized enterprises. The results of this research reveal that
SME entrepreneurs are only moderately aware of the overall value of management
accounting for planning, controlling, and decision-making. Meanwhile, the need
for overall management accounting in SMEs was high. The perceived importance of
management accounting was directly related to the perceived need for
management accounting among SME entrepreneurs in northern Thailand.
Moreover, entrepreneurs at medium-sized enterprises perceived the importance
of and need for management accounting at a significantly higher level than their
small enterprise counterparts
