Survey reveals ABCM implementation enhances accounting information for some employees but lacks in accessibility.

The study aims to explore perceptions of benefits related to the implementation of activity-based cost management (ABCM).
Conducted a survey with 69 respondents across four sites focusing on perceptions of ABCM benefits.
Evaluated perceptions relative to technical and behavioral advantages of ABCM compared to traditional systems.
Respondents reported favorable perceptions of ABCM, especially regarding technical and behavioral benefits.
