From the supplier: Many organizations implementing information technology (IT) innovations to enhance decision making and support reengineering activities are failing to achieve their desired outcomes because of technical, organizational, political and behavior barriers. One IT innovation that is increasing in popularity is activity-based costing (ABC), which seeks to quantify the cost and performance of activities, products, customers and other cost items. It generates more accurate figures than traditional volume-based accounting systems in organizations with complex manufacturing processes or those that manufacture goods in different lot sizes. ABC and other IT innovations often fail because of behavioral and organizational barriers rather than environmental and technical obstacles. ABC barriers in the areas of initiation, adoption, analysis, acceptance, action and activity-based management are discussed. Solutions to these problems are offered.
