Corporate Governance
For companies that decline the presence of Good Corporate Governance (GCG), the duality figure limits the control of the board of directors focused on the actions of the company's CEO. This situation generates control inefficiency, limiting the possibility of implementing intervention tools by the CEO. In this sense, being the same person who performs the functions of Chairman of the Board and CEO, the presence of control is diminished, making it impossible to obtain the optimal results required by the shareholders. The CEO-Chairman duality is not optimal when it comes to maximizing shareholder wealth, since in these cases control over the CEO's actions is put at risk. Therefore, control over the CEO's decisions is one of the main responsibilities of the chairman of the board. Consequently, under a duality scenario, the CEO's actions can be influenced, leading to high agency costs (Jensen & Meckling, 1976).

Production and export of agro-industrial products (Fruit Pulp)
Due to the accelerated life and with little time available, nowadays products that are easy to prepare and with little time of dedication are very popular. Additionally, the consumption of fruit pulp is preferred to normal fruit due to the difficulty of handling and high level of waste of fruits such as: blackberry, soursop and coconut, guava, strawberry, naranjilla, passion fruit, pineapple, pitajaya, among others. The frozen fruit pulp market in Ecuador has been growing in the last five years; however, none of these companies has an established marketing plan and does not promote its product, so it sells what is sold on impulse and does not motivate the purchase.

While the focus is on the manufacturing industry, information in the book will be useful to other industries as well. To achieve this, the book utilizes the action design research methodology founded within a design science paradigm, which aims to develop pragmatic solutions to an actually experienced business problem or class of business problems. After which, the book then explains the elaborated action design research process, which is a researcher-practitioner approach to designing pragmatic, industry-experienced problems in an academically sound manner.In doing so, the book illustrates how a design process embedded in the engineering field, i.e., design science research, can successfully engineer effective managerial costing systems. The book thus includes both academic researchers and industry practitioners, applying the contextual iterative solution development activities, i.e., (i) problem formulation and refinement, (ii) the solution design, and (iii) verification and validation of the proposed solution. The final (proposed) solution presented in the book is presented in a process model format, including systematic process flow illustrations and developmental guides, which are all supportive in enabling the design of effective managerial costing systems.
