Cost Management" was written in response to changes in the global business environment. Unbridled access
to information and intense competition has meant that cost accounting has become an increasingly important tool
for managers and accountants alike. Most textbooks focus on content knowledge and then expect students to 'magically'
demonstrate skills such as decision-making and critical thinking. "Cost Management" better prepares students
for professional success by bridging the gaps between Knowledge, Skills and Abilities. Many students fail to recognize
the assumptions, limitations, behavioral implications and qualitative factors that influence managerial decision-making.
The dynamic, new author team focuses on cost accounting methods, techniques and the quality of cost accounting
information used for decision-making to deliver a thoroughly modern treatment of cost accounting topics.
