First and foremost, the emphasis of this managerial accounting text is decision making as opposed to number crunching. Additionally, this text is unique in its first-person, discovery learning approach using a 4-step decision-making model throughout. It truly conveys a management perspective, by including coverage of topics such as ABM, the value chain, and balanced scorecard evaluation techniques. It is also the first managerial text to incorporate coverage on knowledge management (Ch. 13), highlighting the latest developments for improved managerial decision making.
