A Surprisingly Good Read, Sep 2 2008
By B. Allen - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Managerial Accounting (Hardcover)
I bought this textbook sight unseen with the intend of using it as a reference for work. I originally learned mangerial accounting in my MBA program some years ago using Noreen and Garrison's Managerial Accounting textbook. It was my first choice as it is regarded as the best textbook on the subject but I could not get it for a reasonable price. So, I saw that this textbook had just came out and I went for it. At first glance, I was more or less unimpressed with its content comparing it to my old Noreen and Garrison' textbook. Bamber/Braun/Harrison's text seemed too simplicitic and not to deep in content. But, I decided to keep it and work through it.It did not take me long to realize it is a great textbook. It is very readable and loaded with lots of complete worked out examples. It is also very visually appealing. It is clean and uncluttered with excellent graphics and it is printed on high quality, low-glare paper. The author's explain terms and concept's very well. Again, it is not as sophisticated/complicated as Noreen/Garrison (but that is where they fall down). To be sure, I also bought on the cheap the 3rd edition of Cost Management by Hilton. Again, Bamber/Braun/Harrison beats it it too for it clear prose and explanations. Ex. Bamber/Braun/Harrison do a terrific job explaining the topic of Operating Levarge on pages 386 and 387 including a good example. In Hilton's book, he does it in a paragraph and I swear, I have no clue what he was trying to say.
Final point, I also purchased the study guide that accompanies Bamber/Braun/Harrison. It is also an excellent teaching product. It is the best looking - most useful study guide I have ever used (for economics Brune and McConnell's study guide is by far the most comprehensive and exhaustive). It is printed on exceptionally good paper, in color using the same graphics as the main text. Each chapter is loaded with lots of fully worked out Demo problems. If you are an instructor, I would urge you to take a good look at this textbook for use in your classes as it will definitely make learning this challenging subject much easier.

A Decent Book With A Few Flaws, Dec 21 2010
By Joe V - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Managerial Accounting (Hardcover)
I am an undergraduate business student majoring in accounting. This book on managerial accounting was written well and concepts were covered thoroughly, but the arrangement and organization was extremely confusing. At the end of each section there is a box entitled "Decision Guidelines" as well as a summary problem. Unfortunately, these two parts detract from the material more than they add to it. I was frustrated as I tried to do the problems at the end of each chapter as well. Moreover, there were way too many problems, exercises, and short answers at the end of each chapter. I'm all for reinforcing the material with practice problems, but when half the book is composed of problems, you might want to consider scaling it back a little bit.Another strange, rather annoying feature of this book is a "Glindex" which combines a glossary and an index into one thing. I was curious as to why the authors did this. To save paper? Well, the book itself 825 pages long, so this explanation does not seem likely.
One upside is the MyAccounting Lab packet that came along with my purchase. My Accounting Lab is a web-based tutorial and assessment accounting software that is a decent supplementary resource for students.
Here's the table of contents for this book.
1. Introduction to Managerial Accounting
2. Building Blocks of Managerial Accounting
3. Job Costing
4. Activity-Based Costing, Lean Production, and the Costs of Quality
5. Process Costing
6. Cost Behavior
7. Cost-Volume-Profit Analysis
8. Short-Term Business Decisions
9. The Master Budget and Responsibility Accounting
10. Flexible Budgets and Standard Costs
11. Performance Evaluation and the Balanced Scorecard
12. Capital Investment and the Time Value of Money
13. Statement of Cash Flows
14. Financial Statement Analysis

managerial Accounting, Feb 7 2010

Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Managerial Accounting (Hardcover)
This text book is really good, very simple, covered all essntial materials in good literaly and business language. Highly recomended for bachelors, but will be not productive for master programs. It will be perfect, if in addition the authors will add modern cases as supplyments, which will help students treat their knowledge and understand how to implement major managerial principales in real business activities.
