Results. The practical value of application of a method of Activity-based costing (ABC) and Economic Value Added (EVA) in management of expenses not only in creation of a system of accounting of expenses, but also and predictions through new approaches for the analysis for identification of unproductive fields of activity in value creation of a product is proved, including positively influences the growth of business activity for trade enterprises. In the field of innovative approaches the balanced system of indexes (BSI) and EVA methods harmoniously are integrated in processes of costs planning, management of them at the level of departments and in general are distributed among operation processes to responsible persons, which has a positive impact on maximizing capital cost of the enterprise. Conclusions. Application of methods of cost management as uniform system provides chance to distribute expenses on commodity groups and to define  goods which create added value gives the chance to settle the impact of minimum change of influence of a factor  on commodity turnover level due to decrease of unit  cost in life cycle of a product through the analysis of a point of profitability for increase in investment attractiveness.

Crowdfunding (CF) is considered to be an innovative source of funding, and research into its effects on CF participants is being conducted from many different angles. In our article, we propose a qualitative analysis of CF’s impact on creating added value for small and medium enterprises (SMEs). This paper is a conceptual study based on the theory of value co-creation, the Norton–Kaplan value model, and the concept of economic value added (EVA) to identify the areas (perspectives) of business activity where crowdfunding may stimulate the growth of company value. Based on the map of co-relations in crowdfunding that we have created, we propose a new model of crowdfunding value analysis from the entrepreneur’s point of view. Our research demonstrates that crowdfunding not only presents an alternative financing option, but also affects all perspectives relevant to value creation. As compared to the existing literature, this analysis is the most comprehensive take on the importance of crowdfunding for increasing the value of small and medium enterprises to date, thus offering a material contribution to the fuller understanding of crowdfunding from the financial standpoint, as well as pointing to the importance of crowdfunding as a financing method influencing sustainable decision-making by small and medium enterprises (SMEs). The added value of the study is the proposed method of analysing the impact of CF on the value of enterprises by using the Norton–Kaplan model and EVA.

This article is aimed at analysing the impact of popular financial performance measures on shareholders’ wealth. It tests the strength of the linear relationships between these performance measures and shareholders’ returns, which consist of dividends and changes in the share price. The return on equity (ROE) is weighed up against the present favourite, economic value added (EVA) and the merits and flaws of each approach are discussed. Other approaches, such as a combination of performance measures and the expectations theory are also discussed briefly.The statistical tests performed found Spreads (a standardised EVA) to be slightly superior to ROE in explaining changes in shareholders’ returns. However, the use of same year data resulted in very weak linear relationships between all the performance measures tested, relative to shareholders’ returns.When 5-year medians were used in the analysis, significant correlations were obtained between current shareholders’ returns and the future results for the internal performance measures. This engenders some support for the expectations theory with its contention that the most effective positive impact on shareholders’ returns can be accomplished by managing expectations about future financial results, rather than maximising these results now. It is clear that the debate about the effectiveness of traditional accounting performance measures, as well as the search for the real drivers of shareholder value, will continue and increase in intensity.

Abstract. The article has been devoted to the assessment of the impact of the spreading of the small business on the position of the employees in the relationship of the distribution of the added value. It has been researched how the potential of the small business as for the mitigation of the negative social consequences of the deterioration of the macroeconomic situation has been realized in the different types of the economic activity. As the indicator of the spreading of the small business, the part of the small business in the general number of the employees has been used. As the indicator for the assessment of the position of the employees, it is the part of the wages consisting of the added value. The limitation of the domestic statistics does not allow modeling the dependence of these indicators neither with the help of the constructing of the panel (the necessary data is available only for ten types of the economic activity) nor the dynamic database (the data is available only from 2012 to 2015). Accordingly, we have resorted to the grouping of the types of the economic activity using the average of the geometric tempos of the growth of both indicators. For 2012 and 2015, the dramatic reduction of the part of the value for the wages in the complex of the added value of the economy as a whole and all, except only one of the types of the economic activities has been taken place in the Ukrainian economy. Such tendency suggests that the burden of the deterioration of the macroeconomic dynamics puts, mainly, on the employees, the recipients of the wages, depriving the domestic economy of the important sources of the resources for the investing in the development of the human capital. Using as the indicator of the spreading of the small business of its part in the general number of the employees, we haven’t got the empirical confirmation that the growth of the part of the small business in the structure of the employment improves the economic situation of the employees as for the proportion of the distribution of the added costs value (the growth of the part of the value on the wages in the complex of the added value of the generated types of the economic activity). Accordingly, we consider that in itself the redistribution of the general number of the employees in favor of the small business is not a sufficient condition for the improving of the features of the conditions of the reproduction of the personal resources of the Ukrainian economy. The results of the research haven’t confirmed the positive impact of the spreading of the small business on the realization of the economic interests of the employees in the process of the distribution of the added value between the wages and other elements. Keywords: small business, part of employees in small business, part of wages in added value, grouping of types of economic activities.

It is a problem worth thinking about whether the government’s environmental regulation policies can meet the residents’ requirements for environmental quality, and benefit the people. The study of the public’s subjective evaluation can more intuitively judge whether the government’s environmental regulation has realized “ecological benefits for the people”. Based on the data of the Chinese General Social Survey (CGSS) in 2013, this paper studied the impact of environmental regulation and environmental awareness on environmental governance satisfaction by an ordered probit model. The study found that environmental regulation has a significant positive impact on environmental governance satisfaction, while environmental awareness has a significant negative impact on environmental governance satisfaction. We also found that when public environmental awareness is taken into account, the positive relationship between environmental regulation and environmental governance satisfaction is affected. The robustness test proved this conclusion.

Objective - The context strategy as process and strategy as content have significant impact to the correlation between strategy and management accounting (Muktiyanto, 2016; Parnell, 2010). In the context strategy as process, this paper aims to investigate the role of management accounting to performance through the choice of strategy. Methodology/Technique - The method by structural equation modeling on 70 (seventy) of undergraduate Accounting Study Program (composition: 70% Private Universities and 30% Public Universities). Opposite with Henry (2006) and Widener (2007) and support with Speklé and Verbeeten (2014) and Acquaah (2013). Findings - This paper shown that the accounting management directly influence the performance, but not mediated by strategy. The practice of budgetary slack, the implementation of modern accounting such as activity-based costing and target costing, the use of performance measurement techniques such as the balanced scorecard, measurements based performance, and the economic value added, as well as integrated information system is an important factor in improving the performance of Higher Education. Unfortunately, the choice of strategy moderate or "stuck in the middle" has not been able to improve the performance of Higher Education directly nor as a mediating between management accounting and performance. However, in the context strategy as process, management accounting have positive influence to the strategic choice. Novelty - The effort of Higher Education to improve the performance is choose a single strategy or focus on the prospector's strategy.
