Managerial Accounting

From: $132.54

As the long-time best-seller, Garrison has helped guide close to 2 million students through the challenging waters of managerial accounting since it was first published. It identifies the three functions managers must perform within their organizations—plan operations, control activities, and make decisions—and explains what accounting information is necessary for these functions, how to collect it, and how to interpret it. To achieve this, Managerial Accounting, 12/E, focuses, now as in the past, on three qualities:

Relevance. Every effort is made to help students relate the concepts in this book to the decisions made by working managers. With insightful chapter openers, the popular Managerial Accounting in Action segments within the chapters, and stimulating end-of-chapter exercises, a student reading Garrison should never have to ask “Why am I learning this?”

Balance. There’s more than one type of business, and so Garrison covers a variety of business models, including not-for-profit, retail, service, and wholesale organizations as well as manufacturing. In the eleventh edition, service company examples are highlighted with icons in the margins of the text.

Clarity. Generations of students have praised Garrison for the friendliness and readability of its writing, but that’s just the beginning. Technical discussions have been simplified, material has been reordered, and the entire book carefully retuned to make teaching—and learning—from Garrison as easy as it can be. In addition, the supplements package is written by Garrison, Noreen, and Brewer, ensuring that students and professors will work with clear, well-written supplements that employ consistent terminology.

From: Amazon Posted: May 27, 2008 Type: User Review A higher level cost accounting book

It is a higher level cost-accounting book. It is a detailed book but would be better if it had answer guides in the back for some questions etc.

The book does have elaborate examples before the question section though, which is...

I really learned a lot from Managerial Accounting. The text is very succinct and helpful, if a little too detailed. There is a wealth of practice problems available, even if you sometimes have to dig through them in order to really get to the...

I used this book to study managerial accounting at Harvard. It is very informative and include productive exercises. I know it is very costly, but don't try to buy the international edition, which has a different version of exercises.

I ordered a brand new textbook from Amazon. However, I received a textbook that was not covered in plastic wrap like other brand new textbooks are. Also, two of the angles were smashed, and there was a huge scratch on the front cover of the textbook.

I am looking at the International edition right now, and comparing it to the US version - the problems in the back of each chapter are different.
