The emphasis of Managerial Accounting, 8e is on teaching students to use accounting information to best manage an organization. In a practice Hilton pioneered in the first edition, each chapter is written around a realistic business or focus company that guides the reader through the topics of that chapter. Known for balanced examples of Service, Retail, Nonprofit and Manufacturing companies, Hilton offers a clear, engaging writing style that has been praised by instructors and students alike. As in previous editions, there is significant coverage of contemporary topics such as activity-based costing, target costing, the value chain, customer profitability analysis, and throughput costing while also including traditional topics such as job-order costing, budgeting and performance evaluation.

4.0 out of 5 stars
Good but not great,
By
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Managerial Accounting: Creating Value in a Dynamic Business Environment (Hardcover)
I have now read 2/3rds of this book and found the content to be adequate and consistently organized. The explanations are straight forward and to the point. What this book lacks is any great insights. If you want a review or introduction to the terminology and basic process this book will work. Don't expect it to show anything that would help you gain important insights into possible systematic improvements or an understanding why it is done a particular way. This book will help you pass a class: done.

I liked the book, it has been very useful. The only thing i didn't like is that the answers for the exercises are not available. But its a good book with very practical examples.
