Accounting for Managers: Text & Cases

Modern managers are described as continually seeking, receiving, processing, and disseminating information. This book provides an eye-opening report on exactly what types of information managers want and need to make their decisions. In addition, it explains where and how managers actually get this information. The authors' research shows that many of accountants' most cherished reports are of marginal value; that PCs and data networks are expensive and underutilize capital assets in many settings; and that managers are getting their really important information from unexpected sources.

Both managers and academics have expressed dissatisfaction with performance measurement, evaluation, and incentive systems now in use. This colloquium volume contains ten papers that present the best of contemporary field research on these issues. It emphasizes middle management, unlike other studies to date which have focused exclusively on CEOs. A central revelation is the need for evaluation and incentive systems to be dynamic. The book also shows how firms are learning new systems from other firms across international borders.
