Cost Management" was written in response to changes in the global business environment. Unbridled access to information and intense competition has meant that cost accounting has become an increasingly important tool for managers and accountants alike. Most textbooks focus on content knowledge and then expect students to 'magically' demonstrate skills such as decision-making and critical thinking. "Cost Management" better prepares students for professional success by bridging the gaps between Knowledge, Skills and Abilities. Many students fail to recognize the assumptions, limitations, behavioral implications and qualitative factors that influence managerial decision-making. The dynamic, new author team focuses on cost accounting methods, techniques and the quality of cost accounting information used for decision-making to deliver a thoroughly modern treatment of cost accounting topics.

Introduce your students to the dynamic, exciting nature of cost management as this edition demonstrates how today's conditions consistently require change in cost management systems. Hansen/Mowen/Guan's COST MANAGEMENT: ACCOUNTING AND CONTROL, Sixth Edition, first covers functional-based cost and control and then activity-based cost systems, giving students the understanding and skills to manage any cost management system. This edition's expansive coverage and consistent attention to technical detail provides a thorough, well-researched foundation for learning. It addresses the most recent influential topics and emerging processes affecting the discipline, including a new chapter on lean accounting and a focus on technology tools that positively impact internal costing practices.

This message is reinforced by a dynamic author team, all four of whom have close ties to current cost management practice.

Best practice from pre-contract to post-contract phases of the project life-cycle are illustrated using major projects such as Heathrow Terminal 5, Crossrail and the London 2012 Olympics as case studies. More worked examples, legal cases, case studies and current research have been introduced to cover every aspect of the cost manager’s role.
