Purpose of the study: The importance of existing sales affinities between products cannot be understated. Consumers shopping baskets contain multiple products, from several product categories resulting in the development of a basket of cross-category products. Given that consumer preferences are attribute-driven, the authors questioned the attribute preferences of selected cross-category skincare products. As such the aim of the study was to determine product attribute preferences for skincare cross-category products in Durban. Design/methodology/approach: A quantitative research design was used in the form of a cross-sectional descriptive survey. The study targeted Durban consumers and sampled 213 students selected from three Durban universities. Sampling techniques included the use of convenience sampling and respondents were purposely selected based on their capacity to give meaningful information relevant to the study. Conjoint analysis experts and a statistician was used to ensure research instrument validity. The questionnaire was also pretested prior to data collection. Findings: The results indicated acceptable, consistent scoring patterns for the research instrument. Kendall’s Tau test was used to test for reliability of the research instrument. The study revealed that for skincare products, durability was the most important attribute followed by the brand, product effectiveness (strength),

Effective business decisions have a positive impact on the overall business of a company. Each business decision should be based on relevant, high-quality, and reliable information prepared by a management accountant in accordance with managers’ specific requirements. In order to be support the efficient decision-making process, the management accounting information should be appropriate for a particular business decision, and it should reflect the role, responsibility, and value it has for a manager that participates in the decision-making. This paper aims to investigate whether the management accounting information system is developed in Croatian companies. In order to collect data for the analysis, a web survey was conducted on a representative sample of Croatian companies. Overall, 225 companies from the real sector participated in the survey. The results have shown that managers consider management reports an important basis in decisi-on-making. Furthermore, the findings of this stu dy have shown that managers in large companies use management reports to a greater extent in decision-making than managers in micro, small, and medium-sized companies do.
