RESUMEN

Este trabajo tiene un doble objetivo, por un lado analiza el efecto en la implantación de la estrategia del tipo de información (financiera y no financiera) proporcionada por el sistema contable de gestión, distinguiendo dos aspectos del uso de dicho sistema: Propósito y Estilo de uso. Por otro lado, este estudio extiende el trabajo de Gerdin y Greve [2004] analizando y comparando dos aproximaciones del concepto de ajuste: Cartesiana y Configuracional. Los datos fueron recogidos a través de una encuesta enviada a los gerentes de 218 hospitales públicos en España. Los resultados señalan el efecto positivo en la implantación de la estrategia que tiene el uso de la información contable de gestión de forma interactiva. Este estudio permite concluir que la aproximación configuracional es más sólida en la predicción de la relación entre el sistema contable de gestión y la implantación de la trategia.

Two uses of management accounting systems are analyzed: Purpose and Style. On the other hand, this paper extends Gerdin and Greve's [2004] research since analyzes and compares two approaches to fit: Cartesian and Configuration. Data were collected through a questionnaire sent to the 218 general directors at Spanish Public Hospitals. The results show a positive effect on strategy implementation when management accounting information is used interactively. The findings let us conclude that the configuration approach is more solid in predicting the relationship between management accounting system and strategy implementation.
