Individual Assignment title: A Study of Contemporary Strategic Management Accounting: Individual Assignment: 2500 words (50%) This will be a management report based on current business development which requires understanding of theoretical literature, ability to consider its application to a real situation, assessment and evaluation of the development. It is over 20 years since the term Strategic Management Accounting was first introduced.  Since that time we have seen its development in many aspects and the incorporation of many innovative techniques to support modern business management.

Some students were making a class presentation; I heard some noise, so I asked the audience to keep quiet. A few of them looked up, feeling disturbed by my warning. The classroom was silenced for 15 seconds, then the noise came again, from a number or sources - with surround sound effect. That's how I learn to know the new generation of students.

This was a conversation between a visiting UK Lecturer and me: The UK Lecturer : the students in HK have not been doing well in their studies; they did not read widely on their taught subjects. It must be due to the fact that teachers in Hong Kong do not encourage them to do more reading around their taught subjects... which the students must be able to realize that doing well in their studies is good for their career.... Me : I have tried my best to stimulate students to learn; learning must be inner-driven and I cannot force my students to learn. I, personally,am very interested in learning and I could only promise that, after finishing the teaching of this subject, I will write a paper for publication in an academic journal.

The following info is on how Operations and Info Systems Mgt quiz score is calculated: (Source of info from UK) ******* The assessment is input into the system as 100% so the student marks are added as the total presented. The maximum score over the 6 tests is 90. So 90 = 100%. The weighting will be applied by the system which is 50% so all marks initially received are halved. So if a student got 60/90 in this assessment their final grade with the weighting applied would be 30% for this module element. This is then topped up by the other 2 elements, both assessed at 100% but with 25% weightings applied. All marks are entered as 100% and then the system applies the weightings. *****
