Thus, Nestle case will assume strategic theory, the building of possible ways from within utilization of critical business process and approach pathways. There can be that Nestle ensures the creation of accounting theory facing effective management as well as decision-making into the business driven context. In doing so, Nestle do evaluate as well as synthesizes strategic theory of accounting domains with intention of incorporating business elements of Nestlé’s decision enhancement, a type of theory being argued to apply process of decision-making process as used by the company. Furthermore, there postulates that effective accounting decision-making as well as management are best undertaken into the business practical and collaborative operation put into ideal decision outcome. Nestle does effectively recognizes the notion of partners and key players in the business context and argues for Nestle in order to seriously consider repudiating of strategic competencies, allowing accounting standards to rule over the company‘s decision-making in a more unified approach.
Thus, necessitating effective devolution and delegation of decision-making power into the nature of Nestle business, the adaptability and strategic capability of Nestle workforce does require inclusive accounting measures with the need to unlock and realize complete business potential of Nestle.

Nestlé business should allocate adequate accounting resources to do so as the resources should be applied both at the outset in terms of putting the right personnel and legal protections in place and also when defending any infringements. Nestlé always prosecutes unauthorized use of its intellectual property rights. This may be costly but it is far less expensive than diminishing the value of the brand in the marketplace. Nestlé aims to be the market leader and to provide at least one leading brand for each product line. Nestlé has a long established history of carrying out extensive R&D with dedicated Product Technology Centers across the globe. Also an increasing trend has been the licensing-in of innovative technology from external sources and this complements the R&D work being carried out internally. For instance, the legal process for strategic technology of the company needs to be carefully managed as the technology itself can become a critical element of Nestlé’s products and processes. Through continuous innovation of Nestle products and renovation of existing products, Nestlé is creating and enhancing hundreds of Nestlé products, especially in terms of their nutritional benefits.
