Summary

This classic text for MBA programs offers balanced coverage of concepts, methods, and uses of managerial accounting with an increasingly strong emphasis on strategic management issues. This approach helps to focus on concepts and managerial uses of financial information rather than techniques of cost accounting. The Seventh Edition emphasizes strategic management decisions, increased coverage of process improvement, integration of financial reporting issues for management decision making, and application of managerial accounting tools to emerging areas like e-commerce, service sector, government, and nonprofits in examples and problem material.
