THE AIS AND

THE AIS AND
CORPORATE STRATEGY • Sometimes a company can do both, but they normally have to choose. © 2006 Prentice Hall Business Publishing Accounting Information Systems, 10/e Romney/Steinbart 76 of 43
77.
THE AIS AND
CORPORATE STRATEGY • Porter also argues that companies must choose a strategic position among three choices: – Variety-based strategic position • Offer a subset of the industry’s products or services. • EXAMPLE: An insurance company that only offers life insurance as opposed to life, health, property-casualty, etc. © 2006 Prentice Hall Business Publishing Accounting Information Systems, 10/e Romney/Steinbart 77 of 43
78.
THE AIS AND
CORPORATE STRATEGY • Porter also argues that companies must choose a strategic position among three choices: – Variety-based strategic position – Needs-based strategic position • Serve most or all of the needs of a particular group of customers in a target market. • EXAMPLE: The original Farm Bureau-based insurance companies provided a portfolio of insurance and financial services tailored to the specific needs of farmers. © 2006 Prentice Hall Business Publishing Accounting Information Systems, 10/e Romney/Steinbart 78 of 43

81.
THE AIS AND
CORPORATE STRATEGY • Choosing a strategic position is important because it helps a company focus its efforts as opposed to trying to be everything to everybody. – EXAMPLE: A radio station that tries to play all types of music will probably fail. • It’s critical to design the organization’s activities so they reinforce one another in achieving the selected strategic position. The result is synergy, which is difficult for competitors to imitate. © 2006 Prentice Hall Business Publishing Accounting Information Systems, 10/e Romney/Steinbart 81 of 43
82.
THE AIS AND
CORPORATE STRATEGY • The growth of the Internet has profoundly affected the way value chain activities are performed: – Inbound and outbound logistics can be streamlined for products that can be digitized, like books and music. – The Internet allows companies to cut costs, which impacts strategy and strategic position. – Because the Internet is available to everyone, intense price competition can result. The outcome may be that many companies shift from low-cost to product-differentiation strategies. – The Internet may impede access-based strategic positions. © 2006 Prentice Hall Business Publishing Accounting Information Systems, 10/e Romney/Steinbart 82 of 43
83.
THE AIS AND
CORPORATE STRATEGY • The AIS should help a company adopt and maintain its strategic position. – Requires that data be collected about each activity. – Requires the collection and integration of both financial and nonfinancial data. © 2006 Prentice Hall Business Publishing Accounting Information Systems, 10/e Romney/Steinbart 83 of 43
84.
THE AIS AND
CORPORATE STRATEGY • The authors believe: – Accounting and information systems should be closely integrated. – The AIS should be the primary information system to provide users with information they need to perform their jobs. © 2006 Prentice Hall Business Publishing Accounting Information Systems, 10/e Romney/Steinbart 84 of 43
