Management accounting is the process of preparing management reports and accounts that provide accurate and timely, financial and statistical information to assist in management decision making. It is also known as the process of identifying, measuring, accumulating, analyzing, preparing, interpreting and communicating information to help managers fulfill the organization’s objectives. Management accounting practices are used by organizational managers at various levels and at the same time, it gives managers the freedom of choice as there are no constraints, other than the cost of information collected relative to benefits of improved management decisions. Studies have found that there are factors that may affect management accounting practices. Literature has indicated that factors such as--organization size, intensity of market competition, level of qualification of accounting staff and advanced production technology--may affect management accounting practices. The objective of this research is to study the impact of these factors on management accounting practices in Malaysia. A total of 200 respondents from Klang Valley, Malaysia were involved in the survey using purposive sampling. The results of the study revealed that organization size and advanced production technology have significant relationships with management accounting practices.

This paper examines a new approach to defining digital ecosystems. Within the digital economy of ecosystems, competition is eliminated, and organizations form unions and alliances in order to work together and cooperate to reach a set goal. This means a digital ecosystem can be viewed as a complex environment in which organizations without any hard ties operate. Digital ecosystems differ from traditional ecosystems in many ways. The business organization of the latter is based on management decision making by people. This paper presents theoretical foundations for developing digital ecosystems based on a literary review. Based on the logic of scientific search using the keywords “ecosystem” and “biological ecosystem”, the commonality of the properties of the digital ecosystem and the biological ecosystem is shown. The aim of the study is to identify common characteristics in biological, economic and digital ecosystems in order to substantiate the possibility of using the same approaches for research and modeling of such systems. A definition of a digital ecosystem is proposed by the authors which points out the main features of this kind of system and highlights the dominant role of modern digital technologies in the formation of the digital ecosystem. The paper looks at the distinctive features of digital ecosystems and characteristics similar to the characteristics of biological ecosystems, such as ecosystem participants, presence of limiting impacts, lack of vertical hierarchical communication. The developed model can be used to model digital ecosystems. The authors believe that the emergence of a trend in the transformation of ecosystems in the direction of expanding the collaboration of economic agents is reasonable. At the same time, digitalization helps to replace competition with collaboration. The paper finishes with a discussion of the obtained results and a plan for further research.

To understand the influence of agro-meteorological parameters to take decisions related to various factors in an integrated plant disease management, it becomes vital to carry out scientific studies on the factors affecting it. The different agro-meteorological parameters namely temperature, humidity, moisture, rain, phenological week, cropping season, soil type, location, precipitation, heat index, and cloud coverage have been considered for this study. Each parameter has been allocated the ranking by using a technique called analytical hierarchical process (AHP). The parameter priorities are determined by calculating the Eigenvalues. This helps to make decisions related to integrated plant disease management where the prediction of plant disease occurrence, yield prediction, irrigation requirements, and fertilization recommendations can be taken. To take these decisions which parameters are good indicators can be identified using this method. The parameters majorly contribute to plant diseases and pest management decision making while delivers minor contribution in irrigation and fertilizer management related decision making. The manual results are compared with software generated results which indicates that both the results correlate with each other. Therefore, AHP technique can be successfully implemented for prioritizing agro-meteorological parameters for integrated plant diseases management as the results for both levels are consistent (consistency ratio < 0.1).

This paper investigates marketing and strategic planning issues, its relationship to project management, and the factors affecting these relationships. The authors perform an unstructured and structured literature review, which identified 83 articles that explore the critical variables in this paper. Factors are often seen as operational factors that are directed towards personnel tasked with daily operations. Notably, project management, when tasked with marketing and strategic planning, is challenged to cope with evolving situational alterations that require a different set of skills. Particularly, they contribute to several bodies of knowledge, including project management, decision-making, strategic planning, marketing, and leadership. The study builds on these bodies of knowledge and also addresses gaps identified in these research fields. They contribute to research on factors through various avenues for future research.

Bayesian belief networks (BBNs) are useful tools for modeling ecological predictions and aiding resource-management decision-making. We provide practical guidelines for developing, testing, and revising BBNs. Primary steps in this process include creating influence diagrams of the hypothesized "causal web" of key factors affecting a species or ecological outcome of interest; developing a first, alpha-level BBN model from the influence diagram; revising the model after expert review; testing and calibrating the model with case files to create a beta-level model; and updating the model structure and conditional probabilities with new validation data, creating the final-application gamma-level model. We illustrate and discuss these steps with an empirically based BBN model of factors influencing probability of capture of northern flying squirrels (Glaucomys sabrinus (Shaw)). Testing and updating BBNs, especially with peer review and calibration, are essential to ensure their credibility and reduce bias. Our guidelines provide modelers with insights that allow them to avoid potentially spurious or unreliable models.

Subject. The article considers the concept and the essence of digital economy as an instrument to reduce uncertainty in strategic management decision-making. Objectives. The study aims to specify the digital economy concept and underpin the digitalization as a tool for better management of economy; to develop recommendations for improving the management of information through digitization. Methods. We employ methods designed for organization of management and reduction of uncertainty about the object of management through digitization of additional information. Results. We analyzed basic concepts related to the economy, digital economy and information within the statistical theory of information. The paper gives a definition of the digital economy and recommendations for information management by means of digitization, as it is a driver of uncertainty reduction when choosing a better management solution. Conclusions. The increased likelihood of implementation of strategic management solutions is possible through the use of information under a specific program in order to reduce the uncertainty of choice and achieve the goals of strategic management. This enables to switch to innovative development, the most important feature of which is negentropy. Despite the progress made in the sphere of digitalization, Russia is still lagging behind the leading countries in terms of economic and innovative results of applying digital technologies and readiness for digital economy.

Modern market conditions dictate the new rules of operation for enterprises and require improvement of the enterprise management process. That is why it is important to organize a controlling system at the enterprise to optimize and improve the efficiency of microeconomics management in the hotel and restaurant business. Awareness of the relevance led to the definition of the subject of research, which are scientific and applied principles and approaches, methods and tools of the controlling system in the hotel and restaurant business. The purpose of the paper is a comprehensive analysis and systematic generalization of theoretical and methodological aspects of the formation of the controlling system in the hotel and restaurant business. To solve certain tasks, a system of general scientific and special methods was used: historical and logical, comparative, logical generalization, analysis and synthesis, graphic, etc. A comprehensive approach to analysing and summarizing the definitions of the category of «controlling» allows to interpret controlling in the hotel and restaurant business; that is, controlling as a management system of one or more processes of the enterprise, is aimed at achieving and maintaining strategic goals and includes information support, evaluation, coordination, optimization and control of the activities of all functional and management units for the implementation of the strategic plan. In addition, the classification of types of controlling in terms of different approaches, which expands and deepens the study of the economic essence and content of the scientific category. The main prerequisite for achieving effective functioning of the hospitality industry is a successfully organized process of controlling the company, which includes taking into account the external and internal environment, which are constantly changing under the influence of uncontrolled factors and create new conditions for the enterprise; taking into account the peculiarities of business processes in the hotel and restaurant business, which will allow the most effective management activities at the enterprise, taking into account all the individual nuances of the enterprise; providing management with relevant information that allows you to respond in a timely manner to unexpected changes in the enterprise; regulating the results of activities that optimize the management decision-making process, by analysing the potential impact of deviations on the probability of achieving the goal. Based on the analysis and generalization of information, a structural model of the controlling system in the hotel and restaurant business was designed and substantiated, which comprehensively takes into account the peculiarities of the enterprise, without which the hotel and restaurant complex as a single integrated mechanism is impossible. The methodological tools of the controlling system are substantiated, a comprehensive combination of which will systematically cover the key activities of enterprises in the hotel and restaurant business and, as a consequence, provide a stable long-term competitive advantage in the changing and unstable business environment.

In this paper, we study the class of signaling games in which a unique perfect Bayesian Nash equilibrium outcome satisfying the Intuitive Criterion exists. We first describe the models of signaling games and lay out the definition of equilibrium and some basic assumptions. We then prove three basic theorems leading to the proof of the main theorem that gives sufficient conditions under which a signaling game has a unique outcome. The proof of the main theorem also leads to a method for computing the equilibrium outcome. We formally present the algorithm and illustrate its application through a numerical example. Finally, we apply our algorithm to enterprise management decision-making.
