Introduction
Certainly, during the last decades, the Activity Based Costing (ABC) represents a
major innovation in management accounting. According to Johnson (1990), “…ABC
certainly ranks as one of the two or three most important management accounting
innovations of the twentieth century”. It was developed, by Cooper and Kaplan
(Cooper, 1988; Cooper and Kaplan, 1988), in the last decade of the twentieth century
(Cooper, 1990), as an approach to address problems associated with classical cost
management practices such as standard costing or variable costing, which tend to have
the inability to provide detailed and timely information (Cooper & Kaplan, 1991). The
Consortium of Advanced Manufacturing International (CAM-I) defined ABC as a
“methodology that measures the costs and performance of activities, resources and cost
objects”. Innes, Mitchell & Sinclair (2000) and Turney (1996) defined ABC as method
of measuring cost and performance of activities and cost objects.
