Management Accounting 2nd edition has been revised inresponse to changes in the global business environment. Unbridledaccess to information, intense competition and ongoing challengesin the corporate world have meant that cost accounting has becomean increasingly important tool for managers and accountants alike.Most textbooks focus on content knowledge and then expect studentsto 'magically' demonstrate skills such as decision-making andcritical thinking. As many students fail to recognise the assumptions, limitations,behavioural implications and qualitative factors that influencemanagerial decision-making, this text will better prepare studentsfor professional success by bridging the gaps between knowledge,skills and abilities. The textbook is written in a style that is accessible tostudents and includes chapter scene setters, realistic illustrativeexamples, self-study problems and unique problem materialstructured to encourage students to think about accounting problemsand problem-solving more complexly.
