Drawing on a field study of the semiconductor industry, we look at a standard for interorganizational management accounting—more specifically, for cost of ownership (COO) in the semiconductor industry. These COO calculations are inscriptions that make the costs of manufacturing processes and products of integrated circuit manufacturers visible to other organizations in the industry. COO calculations mediate between these organizations by guiding their R&D and capital equipment investment decisions. We consider how the standard that defines the method for calculating COO enhanced the mediating capacity of COO calculations. Drawing on Robson’s (1992) notions of mobility, stability, and combinability, we find that the standard provided a common understanding when COO calculations were exchanged and compared to targets. At the same time, the standard provided adaptability that was needed for COO calculations to be mediating instruments. Adaptability meant that companies could significantly modify calculations by inserting private data and adjusting the manufacturing setting and products. Further, companies could switch between default values of the standard and their own proprietary data, and they could use the standard to a greater or lesser extent by selectively applying different parts of the standard. The standard enabled different versions of COO calculations to coexist, which would be similar and commonly understood in exchanges but for internal use, different versions could be calculated and used.

行业标准如何增强计算的中介能力:半导体行业的拥有成本

通过对半导体行业的现场研究,我们研究了组织间管理会计的标准,更具体地说,是针对半导体行业的拥有成本(COO)的标准。这些COO计算是题词,使制造商和集成电路制造商的产品成本对行业中的其他组织可见。首席运营官的计算通过指导其研发和资本设备投资决策而在这些组织之间进行调解。我们考虑定义COO计算方法的标准如何提高COO计算的中介能力。利用Robson(1992)的移动性,稳定性和可组合性概念,我们发现,当交换COO计算并将其与目标进行比较时,该标准提供了共识。与此同时,该标准提供了COO计算作为中介工具所需的适应性。适应性意味着公司可以通过插入私人数据并调整制造设置和产品来显着修改计算。此外,公司可以在标准的默认值和自己的专有数据之间切换,并且可以通过有选择地应用标准的不同部分来或多或少地使用该标准。该标准使不同版本的COO计算能够共存,这在交易所中是相似的并且通常被理解,但是对于内部使用而言,可以计算和使用不同的版本。适应性意味着公司可以通过插入私人数据并调整制造设置和产品来显着修改计算。此外,公司可以在标准的默认值和自己的专有数据之间切换,并且可以通过有选择地应用标准的不同部分来或多或少地使用该标准。该标准使不同版本的COO计算能够共存,这在交易所中是相似的并且通常被理解,但是对于内部使用而言,可以计算和使用不同的版本。适应性意味着公司可以通过插入私人数据并调整制造设置和产品来显着修改计算。此外,公司可以在标准的默认值和自己的专有数据之间切换,并且可以通过有选择地应用标准的不同部分来或多或少地使用该标准。该标准使不同版本的COO计算能够共存,这在交易所中是相似的并且通常被理解,但对于内部使用而言,可以计算和使用不同的版本。他们可以通过选择性地应用标准的不同部分来或多或少地使用该标准。该标准使不同版本的COO计算能够共存,这在交易所中是相似的并且通常被理解,但对于内部使用而言,可以计算和使用不同的版本。他们可以通过选择性地应用标准的不同部分来或多或少地使用该标准。该标准使不同版本的COO计算能够共存,这在交易所中是相似的并且通常被理解,但是对于内部使用而言,可以计算和使用不同的版本。
