Description
Most Cost Accounting textbooks focus on content knowledge and
then expect students to 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.
Authors, Leslie Eldenburg and Susan Wolcott realize that many
students fail to recognize the assumptions, limitations, behavioral
implications and qualitative factors that influence managerial
decision-making. The 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.
Cost Management is written in a style that is
accessible to students through a decision-making framework, use of
realistic examples, real ethical dilemmas, self-study problems, and
unique problem material structured to encourage them to think about
accounting problems and problem-solving.
