Produktinformationen zu „Cost Management “
Cost Management not only provides readers with an in-depth understanding of cost accounting procedures, it also empowers them to use cost accounting information for decision-making. Unifying the cost accounting content are three underlying themes that are emphasized throughout the book: 1) uncertainty and bias, 2) decision-making, and 3) ethics. The authors also present a problem-solving model, Steps for Better Thinking (SBT), which can be used to analyze and tackle various ethical scenarios. This model will help readers quickly progress through accounting problems in increasing levels of complexity.
Klappentext zu „Cost Management “
"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.
The textbook is written in a style that is accessible to students and proactive about addressing the challenges that instructors and students face in their teaching and learning endeavors by utilizing features such as a decision-making framework, realistic examples, guide your learning boxes, real ethical dilemmas, self-study problems and unique problem material structured to encourage students to think about accounting problems and problem-solving more complexly.
