CHAPTER 1: OVERVIEW OF PREVIOUS STUDIES

1.1. Overview of foreign research

Mitchell, F. and Reid, GC (2000), found that the relationship between benefits - costs and the level of market competition are two factors affecting KTQTCP. The factor of the relationship between benefits and costs shows that managers always want to achieve the goals of control and cost savings to achieve maximum profits. The application of cost management accounting aims to consider the effectiveness of cost use at each stage and each department, ensuring the benefits from spending costs to the efficiency of the enterprise's production and business activities. The provision of cost information is always of interest to business managers in each department and management level. When considering the application, always set the goal of spending costs to ensure benefits for the enterprise. Always set the goal of saving and strictly controlling to maximize profits, simplify the enterprise apparatus, eliminate unnecessary and ineffective activities. The information provided to managers must be simple, accurate, and must be the most useful information. Market competition level factor: the more competitive the market is, the more businesses must constantly innovate to survive and develop. The level of competition shows the attention of businesses in learning about how customer needs change, combined with the company's resources to achieve the most optimal business efficiency. Promoting market competition level is a revolution in the process of competition, innovation and creativity with increasingly modern techniques and technologies. Recognizing the level of influence of this factor helps businesses find the causes to improve and enhance management work appropriately.

Drury, C. (2001), identified two factors: the level of market competition and the specific factor of the business sector, which deeply affect cost management. Sharing the same view with Abdel-Kader and Luther, R. (2006), the factor of market competition has an impact on cost management, the level of market competition is the enterprise's research, study of information and knowledge to complete the set goals, this factor also affects financial activities, strategies in cost management, the higher the competition, the more the enterprise is motivated.

Constantly innovate and improve to survive and develop throughout the business process. Industry-specific factors: each industry has different characteristics in terms of production and business organization structure, so the perception and application of cost management, management methods or cost allocation methods will also be different, information from KTQTCP is considered in the relationship between accounting and management levels, this factor affects the development of the enterprise because each different industry will affect the classification and recording of costs, in the business process the relationship between accounting and other departments must be considered specifically, all stages have a mutual support relationship to form a unified entity, each enterprise has its own business line, input materials have too high value, or go through many processing stages, requiring enterprises to modernize from the production process to the management stage, applying modern science and technology, or non-production industries but related to finance, service business, are strongly affected by regulations, policies, requirements Business managers must be provided with complete, timely and quick information to achieve the goals of state agencies. This factor affects the identification, classification and cost accounting according to the correct business lines of the business.

Hansen, D. and Mowen, M. (2003), found that the factor of applying information technology in KTQTCP has a great influence on recording, processing and providing accurate and timely information, improving efficiency in cost management, helping enterprises achieve the set goals. Science and technology or information technology helps improve processing, provide timely and complete data to administrators, applying technology to synchronize the operating apparatus of enterprises is very necessary, from production to management, helping the information processing process to be quick, the data is reported accurately according to the actual operating status, helping towards remote management, solving difficulties in production and business activities to improve enterprise efficiency.

Laitiner, EK (2003), stated that factors such as the level of market competition show that the greater the competition between businesses, the more businesses must always

Find ways to innovate and improve to survive and develop, find out the causes affecting the competitiveness of enterprises from customers and competitors, apply reality to your enterprise to be able to meet the maximum requirements of customers. The factor of the relationship between benefits and costs affects the work of the enterprise's cost accounting, with the view that the cost must bring certain profits to the enterprise, the enterprise controls and reduces costs to maximize profits, the search and detection of unnecessary costs to eliminate, the administrator needs to be provided with accurate and timely information from the cost accounting for making decisions to handle unnecessary costs to maximize profits for the enterprise.

Chenhall, RH (2004), stated that there are 3 factors affecting KTQTCP including: business strategy, level of accounting staff in the enterprise, implementation method. Business strategy factor: decisions of managers are important factors in implementing business strategies, implementation of cost management in business strategy is the most important factor of business administrators, decisions in business strategy of managers affect cost implementation, the ultimate desire of administrators is always to maximize profits, so it is necessary to consider the use of costs for the set goals. The factor of accounting staff qualifications in the enterprise is the ability, responsibility and ethics of accounting staff in performing tasks, predicting the ability and efficiency in work, or qualifications are knowledge, skills, experience, and personality, these abilities all have a great impact on the work of accounting and financial management of the enterprise, always improving personal capacity all have an impact on cost control. Implementation method factor: agreeing with Lawson, there needs to be a combination of methods, depending on the design of each enterprise's method, which will help the cost control system achieve the most optimal efficiency.

Abdel-Kader and Luther, R. (2006), pointed out that the customer resource factor affects the application of cost accounting, the more customer demand increases, the greater the competition in the market, requiring businesses to make wise decisions, strengthen cost control to set appropriate selling prices, satisfy customer needs, managers must apply cost accounting to

To improve and enhance the efficiency of production and business activities, customer needs and competitors' strategies strongly affect the decisions of enterprises. The more diverse and rich these needs are, the faster and more accurate information managers need to have about KTQTCP to promptly make decisions in the process of managing and operating the enterprise.

Lawson, RA et al. (2010), identified two factors affecting KTQTCP including: business strategy, implementation method. Business strategy factor: managers must consider the costs related to the goals to be implemented in the proposed business strategies, actions and strategies always have mutual impact, well-controlled costs help managers operate effectively while improving competitive position in the market. Implementation method factor: there are many different cost control methods, each enterprise can implement different methods to implement specific situations suitable for its enterprise, all focus on management, regulation and cost control, must combine methods, depending on each condition, the enterprise proactively establishes methods, will help the enterprise improve operational efficiency, depending on the type of enterprise, to improve management efficiency, it is necessary to combine methods with the choice of methods to suit the actual situation of the enterprise.

Ulf Diefenbach, Andreas Wald, Ronald Gleich (2018) identified four factors affecting the management of the enterprise: management organization, information needs, implementation methods, and enterprise culture. Management organization factor: cost control is reflected in the management organization and processes, regulations, as well as specific responsibilities, the cost control system is designed to be decentralized or centralized, business operations must be standardized and strictly controlled, helping managers evaluate, and consider cutting or regulating costs in which process is appropriate. Information need factor: providing information in the management of the enterprise is a prerequisite for managers to plan, implement and check plans by, during the implementation process, based on the information provided from the management of the enterprise, managers make decisions to adjust or handle in order to

The purpose of achieving the goal, therefore the quality of information provided determines the quality of the solutions proposed. The implementation method factor: in line with the above studies, the implementation methods of enterprises all affect the cost management, the methods chosen to implement for different goals of the enterprise, the administrator must choose the method that is suitable for the enterprise, the administrator all want to improve management and cost control, so choosing different methods to handle situations that occur in the production and business process is always the top goal. The cultural factor in the enterprise, all the implementation behaviors in the enterprise related to cost regulations affect cost control, the regulations in the production and business processes must always have the awareness of improvement so that in the implementation process, costs can be controlled most effectively, in addition, the enterprise culture also affects the business strategy and the information that the administrator needs to make decisions.

1.2. Overview of domestic research

Pham Thi Kim Van (2002) pointed out the importance of implementing and applying cost accounting in tourism companies, classifying specific costs to help businesses apply them immediately in practice, presenting issues in the process of organizing cost accounting, limitations in tourism businesses that have affected business results, and at the same time providing solutions such as proposing to make estimates of costs and revenues, determining business results, costs must be classified specifically and in detail according to their true nature to help managers better control, classify by each cost calculation object, establish procedures and order of cost aggregation in the tourism industry, clearly define cost calculation methods, in addition to cost accounting, it is also necessary to pay attention to management accounting for tourism revenue and results.

Tran Van Dung (2002), studied and researched cost accounting in calculating cost with the conditions of enterprises, studied the current situation of cost accounting organization and cost calculation at manufacturing companies, thereby giving opinions and specific solutions for each content, helping enterprises to be able to apply to improve the quality of cost control system at their own enterprises, the limitations of cost accounting affect

deeply affects the cost management of enterprises, administrators are always looking for solutions to improve production and business activities, specific contents of each stage are classified and allocated to the right specific objects to calculate the cost of production of products.

Pham Thi Thuy (2007), with her research on building a model of cost accounting in pharmaceutical manufacturing enterprises in Vietnam, has pointed out the cost accounting system in the pharmaceutical industry over the periods, and assessed the current status of cost accounting implementation in pharmaceutical manufacturing and trading enterprises which has not been effective, and has not helped managers make timely decisions. With its own characteristics, enterprises in the pharmaceutical manufacturing industry need to make estimates, classify cost items, apply scientific and technical advances to management, and cost accounting is a tool closely associated with the activities of enterprises.

Nguyen Quoc Thang (2010), organization of KTQTCP, product cost in enterprises in the plant seed industry in Vietnam, stated that enterprises in the plant seed industry need to strengthen and improve the management system, the quality of cost information is the basis for making short-term and long-term decisions, the combination of KTQTCP and product cost calculation in the plant seed industry will bring efficiency in control, as well as cost analysis, propose separating mixed costs into fixed costs and variable costs, along with establishing a management reporting system, and reporting management responsibility at plant seed enterprises.

Nguyen Hoan (2011), building a cost accounting model for confectionery manufacturing enterprises in Vietnam, identified three factors affecting cost accounting: managers' awareness of the cost accounting system, legal regulations related to the business sector and the qualifications of accounting staff. The author emphasized that managers with high management qualifications and well-trained staff are the best foundation for providing information on cost management and control. Research on the practice of cost accounting at confectionery manufacturing enterprises pointed out the limitations and proposed solutions related to the construction of a cost estimation system to measure and control at different stages.

Different stages and categories, with the characteristics of confectionery enterprises, managers can apply different production methods and forms, can hire or self-produce, production and processing must go through many stages to create semi-finished products, requiring the application of quality control work in each stage, each stage, controlling costs, eliminating unnecessary costs, improving the efficiency of business operations.

Nguyen Thi Bich Phuong (2013), research proposed some contents of cost accounting in Vinacomin open-pit coal mining enterprises, pointed out that cost accounting work includes the system of books, accounting documents, cost classification, cost estimates, analysis of fluctuations affecting costs, and organization of cost information system. The organization of cost accounting work is only in the early stages of formation, without a clear and specific orientation, therefore the cost information provided to managers is not effective and has many limitations. In addition, the study has proposed solutions to improve cost accounting work in coal mining enterprises such as: proposing to organize the cost accounting apparatus according to the model of combining financial accounting and management accounting, supplementing and perfecting the accounting system in identifying and classifying costs, issues of cost allocation, perfecting the information system for managers. For effective implementation, there needs to be synchronous coordination at all levels. Reality also shows that the production and business activities of coal mining enterprises are very diverse, influenced by many subjective and objective factors.

Nguyen Hai Ha (2016), perfecting the cost accounting in Vietnamese garment enterprises, identified 5 factors affecting the cost accounting in garment enterprises including: information needs, accounting staff qualifications, application of information technology systems, managers' awareness of the cost accounting system, production process. Analyze the impact of information provision on the organization of cost accounting. Garment enterprises need to perfect the cost accounting work, recommend combining the application of the ABC model in the organization of cost accounting, need to promote the organization, identification, classification of costs, application of cost norms in control, perfect

The system collects KTQTCP information, completes cost information analysis, and improves efficiency in the process of making implementation decisions.

Tran Ngoc Hung (2016), studying the factors affecting the application of management accounting in small and medium enterprises in Vietnam, determined that there are 7 factors affecting management accounting in enterprises, including: the level of state ownership in enterprises, the level of market competition, corporate culture, awareness of managers, enterprise scale, costs for organizing management accounting, business strategy. Micro and small enterprises find it difficult to successfully apply management accounting, the awareness of business owners often does not appreciate the usefulness of management accounting technical tools, does not propose specific business strategies, the study recommends that instead of implementing the management accounting model, business owners should equip themselves with initial knowledge of management accounting, in order to control costs, develop strategies and business plans, improve operational efficiency, and increase competitiveness in the market. For medium-sized enterprises, it is advisable to apply a management accounting model, with a scale that is just enough for the enterprise, the model should not be organized too large, the cost is too high, but the efficiency is not too high, focusing on specific items, making estimates, reports, specific production and business plans, combining financial accounting with management accounting, taking advantage of the enterprise's existing resources to maximize profits.

Nguyen Thi Duc Loan (2019), factors affecting the application of KTQTCP in enterprises exploiting, processing and trading construction stone in the Southeast provinces, the author inherited previous studies and concluded 6 factors affecting KTQTCP in enterprises in the construction stone mining and trading industry including: business strategy, legal regulations on resource management and exploitation, control of environmental management costs, qualifications of enterprise accountants, awareness of KTQTCP, relationship between benefits and costs. The author has determined and measured the factors affecting the application of KTQTCP, studied the theoretical model showing the relationship between factors affecting the application of KTQTCP, enterprises in the industry can refer to and apply to be able to filter out appropriate and useful information to strengthen control to help enterprises develop sustainably, besides
