Managerial Accounting: Creating Value in a Dynamic Business Environment

Author: Ronald W. Hilton

Year: 2008

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, and customer profitability analysis, while also including traditional topics such as job costing, budgeting and performance evaluation.
