5.0 out of 5 stars Great stuff, July 12, 2006
By 
Gil (Geneva, Switzerland) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Design of Cost Management Systems (2nd Edition) (Paperback)
This book is a great source of valuable ideas to implement ABC systems. The theoretical parts are very light but still comprehensive and well illustrated. But the real interest of this book lies in the numerous case studies presented at the end of each chapter. A must for cost accountants.
