This textbook offers strategic management topics in conjunction with traditional cost accounting material. Over the last decade, much research has been published that redefines the role of the cost accountant with the organisation. This research suggests that firms today are looking for accountants who understand the needs of management and can provide input in decision-making. The authors include discussions about strategy and decision-making, as well as research from prominent professionals such as Michael Porter and John Shank. The distinguishing features of this book are its strategic cost management framework and the emphasis on using cases.
