Description
Cost Management: A Strategic Emphasis, by Blocher/Stout/Juras/Cokins is
dedicated to answering the question: Why Cost Management? Blocher et al.
provide the cost-management tools and techniques needed to support an
organisation's competitiveness, improve its performance, and help the
organisation accomplish its strategy. The text is written to help students
understand the broader role of cost accounting in helping an organisation
succeed - and not just the measurement of costs. While the text does include
coverage of traditional costing topics (e.g., job-order costing, process costing,
service-department cost allocations, and accounting for joint and by-products), its
primary strength is the linkage of these topics, as well as more contemporary
topics, to an organisation's strategy. This message is reinforced by a dynamic
author team, all four of whom have close ties to current cost management
practice.
New to the 7th edition is McGraw-Hill Connect, a digital teaching and learning
platform forhomework completion and review that helps improve student
performance over avariety of critical outcomes while aiding instructor grading and
assessmentefficiency.
Housed within Connect, SmartBook is an adaptivestudy tool that helps identify
specific topics and learning objectivesindividual students need to study. As
students read, SmartBook assesscomprehension and dynamically highlights
where they need to focus more. Theresult is that students are more engaged with
course content, can betterprioritize their time, and come to class ready to
participate.
