Problems with these accounting principles become even more apparent when they are used to justify the investment in new technologies which may be needed to improve an organizations TQM programme, including its productivity. When an organization focuses on shortterm profits, such accounting principles are often biased towards the selection of new technologies. Develops strategic frameworks that go beyond the limitations of these traditional accounting models. Applies these theories to evaluate the strategic variables that influence a companys ability to compete in the marketplace. These frameworks focus primarily on an organizations goals and the effective use of technology is identified as the means of achieving these goals.
