About the Author
Robert N. Anthony is the Ross Graham Walker Professor Emeritus of Management Control at Harvard Business School. Professor Anthony has been a director of Carborundum Company and Warnaco, Inc., both Fortune 500 companies; for 25 years he has been a trustee of Colby College, including five years as chairman of the board. He has consulted for many companies and government agencies, including General Motors Corp., AT&T, the General Accounting Office, and the Cost Accounting Standards Board. Among Professor Anthony’s awards are the Distinguished Accounting Educator of the Year Award from AAA, Accounting Educator of the Year Award from Beta Alpha Psi, the Meritorious Service Award from the Executive Office of the President, the Distinguished Public Service Medal of the Department of Defense, Comptroller General’s Award of the U.S. General Accounting Office and Distinguished Service Award of the Harvard Business School Association.
David Hawkins is a Full Professor at Harvard University, where he has been a member of the faculty since 1962. He would certainly be considered "old guard" at Harvard, where the accepted practice was to have a Harvard Ph.D., develop new courses, and eventually write innovative textbooks. Although this is no longer the norm at Harvard Business School, David maintains a strong reputation across the country as an innovative instructor and a good textbook author.

Terrible terrible terrible!,
By The Bus (NC, United States) - See all my reviews
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Accounting: Texts and Cases (Hardcover)
This book is terrible! This is not a good review for anybody who hasn't had any previous accounting experience. The text is not written in user-friendly wording. I had somebody who is an accountant look at this book and although they understood it, they said it wasn't written very well at all! I had to buy this for an Masters level "Introduction" to financial and managerial accounting class and I know that a lot of people in the class dropped the class because they were having such a hard time with the text. If you have accounting experience, you will probably not think this book is bad, but if you're like me and haven't, then you'll be in trouble. As a degreed engineer, I've had my fair share of experience reading non-friendly texts. This one is definitely up there as far as the "BOOK FROM HELL" category.

Be very careful with the information in this book,
By JC "Green Collar" (Seattle, WA USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Accounting: Texts and Cases (Hardcover)
The information contained in this book is very complicated, and will lead you to faulty analysis and the wrong conclusions if not done incredibly carefully and slowly. These are not the methods that I use in my job as a professional finance manager; to apply many of these methods would not be cost effective due to the complexity. Be very careful with this information; this is written by teachers, not practitioners. I DO NOT recommend this for teachers or students. There are many other management accounting texts out there, and several of them are MUCH better for learning the methods actually applied in day to day business operations.

Good High Level Overview,
This review is from: MP Accounting: Text and Cases, 11e w/ Dynamic Accounting PowerWeb (Hardcover)
I would recommend this text for higher level accounting/financial analysis courses. There are many other books out there to dive into the exact nature of making journal entries etc. so don't think of this as an excellent beginner to intermediate stlye text.
The cases are excellent for those who will be making upper level decisions not the actual day to day transactions.
