Design of Cost Management Systems: The, Text, Cases and Readings

In the past ten years, management accounting practice has been adapting to the changing technological and competitive environment of modern corporations. The 'Kaplan Series in Management Accounting' arose from the need to rethink management accounting curricula so that students could be trained in the new developments occurring in practice. Bob Kaplan has been actively engaged in identifying the shortcomings of traditional cost and management accounting in today's environment and has been working with innovating organizations that have been making their management accounting systems more relevant for managers. The books in the series offer a contemporary approach to management accounting- to improve the information produced for managers and employees, and to emphasize the design of new information and control systems.
