These changes in advanced technology environment and competition increased, and the managements would never be required within the information of internal environment, but they need relevant information about the external environment as the satiation of competitors and wishes of customers.

In order to develop the classical systems to measure costs, modern methods were entered to meet the modern environment needs, so that the strategic cost management and analysis were the most important.
