• Organizational Focus--Examples from manufacturing, nonmanufacturing, service, and nonprofit organizations are used to illustrate management accounting concepts and principles
• Interactive Learning Process--Throughout each chapter, questions and problems allow you to apply principles to real-world situations--rather than just memorizing them

Management accounting plays a vital decision-making role in todays lean organization.
