This exploratory study examines the impact of strategic management accounting on the dimensions of competitive advantage. Using data from 289 management accountants and 289 senior managers working at Saudi industrial companies located in Riyadh industrial cities, the present study finds that practicing management accounting from a strategic perspective significantly affects the dimensions of competitive advantage (i.e. cost, quality, flexibility and delivery). In the context of its proposed model, the present study supports that Saudi industrial companies can enhance their ability to achieve competitive advantage through practicing of strategic management accounting in terms of the adoption and use of strategic management accounting techniques and the involvement of management accountants in strategic management processes.
