Product Description
The second edition reflects Dr. Demski s experience teaching to undergraduates, masters and doctoral students. He emphasizes economic fundamentals as the guiding foundation coupled with an artful application of those fundamentals. This applies to product costing, decision making and evaluation art. Dr. Demski also removed a great deal of traditional minutiae, in order to keep this theme in constant focus. This thematic approach, in his experience, works in dramatic fashion, and stands in sharp contrast to more traditional presentations of this material.

A must for graduate students in accounting who wish to undertake a serious study of economic aspects of accounting information design and use.
A foreign language January 14, 2010 WannabeWriter (Scribbling, Imagination) Our school uses this book for its graduate management program. Many students in the program have not taken managerial accounting (like myself) and, therefore, would be much better off with a different textbook. After comparing this to other books, I discovered that this book is all "quantitative" managerial accounting--a subject that only takes up a single chapter in several other books.
This book seems geared toward students who are studying the subject for their master's or Ph.Ds. Our professor had us read the book before ever "teaching" anything, and we were quizzed from book-learning alone. That said, I somehow managed to decipher the text well enough to get an A in the course--and that is no mean feat.
Best of luck.
Terrible Book! November 29, 2008 Upset Student (Florida) 1 out of 3 found this review helpful
The book itself it of terrible quality. Hard to read, hard to understand, and way overpriced. The book is also completely in black and white and full of typos. The author seems to be a pompous person. Hopefully you are not required to purchase this book for a course and fatten your professor's wallet and ego.
