Cases in Management Accounting

Résumé du livre

This book aims to enhance the ability of students to apply and critically evaluate the utility of modern management accounting concepts, by positioning them as the decision-maker in a diverse series of case scenarios. The book contains a total of 56 cases split into four sections. The first three sections are relatively short 'concise' cases and problems, and the last section is comprised of 'integrative' cases which cover a wide range of management accounting concepts. The text covers traditional topics from cost accounting, decision-making and performance measurement, as well as newer developments in managerial accounting including activity-based management, just-in-time, cost-of-quality analysis, target-costing, product design evaluation, service-system design evaluation and compensation-system design.
This book is suitable for intermediate and advanced management accounting courses at either undergraduate or postgraduate levels. All of the cases and problems in this book have been extensively field-tested by the authors, in particular on MBA courses they have team-taught.
