This reader contains thirty-nine recent business press and academic articles—all representing state-of-the-art thinking and examples on a wide variety of management accounting topics in many types of service and manufacturing contexts. The articles parallel the contents of Management Accounting 3/e (Atkinson, et al.), but can be used with any core management and cost accounting text. While this book can be used to supplement any management or cost accounting text, the readings have been designed to accompany Anthony Atkinson, Rajiv Banker, R. S. Kaplan and S. Mark Young's textbook, Management Accounting, 3rd Edition (Prentice Hall, 2001). In addition, the Instructor's Manual keys the readings to other textbooks so that the casebook can also be used with these entries.
