From the author: THE POPULARITY OF ACTIVITY-BASED COSTING (ABC) GREW RAPIDLY DURING THE 1990S, AND, IN THE FOLLOWING DECADE, MANY SURVEYS REPORTED USAGE RATES OF ABOUT 50%. OVER THE PAST 10 YEARS, HOWEVER, THERE HAS BEEN DEBATE ABOUT THE OVERALL RELEVANCE OF THIS COSTING METHOD. TO INVESTIGATE THE CURRENT IMPORTANCE OF ABC, WE SURVEYED 348 MANUFACTURING AND SERVICE COMPANIES WORLDWIDE. OUR RESULTS INDICATE THAT ABC CONTINUES TO OFFER ORGANIZATIONS SIGNIFICANT VALUE FROM STRATEGIC AND OPERATIONAL PERSPECTIVES.
