As organizations become more complex and more decentralized, the demand for relevant management accounting information increases. Accounting and Management explores the problems faced by companies as they attempt to modernize their management accounting systems. The book consists of thirteen essays, by leading scholars, on the actual needs and applications of accounting information in modern businesses. It examines how companies such as Weyerhaeuser, Johnson and Johnson, and Hewlett-Packard have designed new control systems and provided new directions for measuring product costs and managerial performance.
