Book Description
Editorial Reviews
From the Publisher
From the Back Cover
It includes a variety of cases that range in length from one page to ten pages. Readers can select cases that match their own objectives. Offers three different levels of case complexity. In Level I the problem is well defined and the specific technique to be applied in clear. In Level II the problem is well defined but the appropriate choice of analytical techniques is less clear. In Level III the cases provide no clear signals about what techniques to use and often require several analytical approaches. These cases come close to the complexities of real-life situations, and many of them describe actual situations. This book also features cases with special objectives and unusual types of cases. There is also a section of control systems, which develops a more comprehensive view of control that is generally found in books. This book includes cases that have international flavor, ethical dimensions and activity-based costing. Designed for readers interested in Management Accounting, Cost Accounting or Management Control Systems. --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.

Horrible book, errors galore,
By
This review is from: Cases in Management Accounting and Control Systems (4th Edition) (Paperback)
This is the worst textbook I've ever come across. Tons of grammatical errors and inconsistencies with monetary units, such as using British pounds and Dollar signs intermixed when they shouldn't be. Basic math skills seem to be lacking from the authors because many of the numbers don't add up. This is totally inexcusable for an accounting-based text. No website for the errata either. Avoid at all costs.
