5.0 out of 5 stars The Perfect Management Decision Making tool for C-Level Managers, July 4, 2010
By 
This review is from: Management Accounting for Decision Makers (Paperback)
Very well structured and written, pointing right to the subject and providing
information on what are the management accounting practices combined with
financial ones. It connects the dots on how these two fundamentals are inter-related
and illustrates the pros and cons based on real case studies.

It has a plethora of exercises and examples that will assist the reader to practice
and understand the topics more thoroughly. A perfect book for decisions makers especially
the ones engaged in international markets. It can be easily used for Program Managers
being members of Steering Committees.

3.0 out of 5 stars Good But Could be Better, November 3, 2010
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Management Accounting for Decision Makers (Paperback)
The book is well structured and provides a lot of practice exercises and activities that help understand the concepts. However, very often the "real world" examples are not very relevant, whether very old surveys or irrelevant in content to the main point being made in a particular section. Nevertheless, the book gives a broad perspective on management accounting and points out the imperfections and opportunities for improvement in real life practice, unlike conventional books that present theories as ideals.
