The objective of the thesis is to study and propose solutions to perfect the MAIS organization of confectionery manufacturing joint-stock enterprises in Hanoi to meet management requirements in the context of globalization and implementation of the industrial revolution 4.0.
Trang 11. Research motivations
With the strong development of accounting science, MAIS has also gradually developed. The information provided by MAIS is increasingly useful and shows the indispensable roles in the management activities of enterprises. Firstly, MAIS is a tool to help managers to estimate the plans and budgets to run business as well as organize resources to implement the plans and budgets. Besides that, MAIS is a measure to help administrators
to evaluate the process and performance, identify the deviations and the causes, detect the effective solutions to improve. MAIS is also a source of information to help administrators make the right and timely decisions, seize the opportunities that the market brings. In particular, Vietnam is receiving a new wave of technology brought by the 4th industrial revolution. Therefore, businesses need to adapt and innovate MAIS to better meet the information needs of business administrators. Despite playing the important roles, MAIS has not been properly paid attention both from the agencies that issue State laws as well as the enterprise.
At the confectionery production enterprises in Hanoi today, the organization of MAIS still has some shortcomings such as the overlapped arrangement of people to perform the tasks in the system is overlapped, lack
of rhythmic coordination between individuals and departments in the enterprise, unclear procedures for collecting, processing data and providing information. That is because administrators in these kinds of enterprises have not yet seen the importance of organizing MAIS. That is because administrators in these kinds of enterprises have not yet seen the importance
Trang 2of organizing MAIS. These limitations lead to the information that the system provides not to help managers making decisions. Therefore, when managers need information for making decisions or planning business production, there is almost no reliable basis to practice
Stemming from the mentioned issues, the author chose the topic
"Organizing management accounting information system in confectionery manufacturing enterprises in Hanoi" for doctoral thesis
The domestic studies have mainly used qualitative research methods
to give the factors affecting the MAIS organization. Very few projects studies put forward models and test factors affecting the MAIS organization
in manufacturing enterprises
Trang 3 The studies related to AIS, MAS though diverse in types of businesses. However, there has not been any study on MAIS organization in confectionery manufacturing enterprises in Hanoi.
