Introduction to Managerial Accounting, 3/e by Brewer/Garrison/Noreen is based on the market-leading text, Managerial Accounting, by Garrison, Noreen and Brewer. However, this is not simply a briefer book with chapters removed; B/G/N has been rethought and retooled to meet the needs of the market.

Customer Review: Not a bad book, but has a few problems
My main problem with this book is that the text looks like a magazine, so often it's difficult to discern what is important versus what is trivial. In addition, in the first chapter the authors present all of the financial statements, which overwhelms some students. Finally, some topics are used before they are intoduced in detail. Nonetheless, the book is excellent in many ways. If you carefully read the text of each chapter, you will get a good background in basic accounting....

Accounting is about decision making using financial information. The focus of this text is on developing within students the ability to critically analyze accounting information and make informed business decisions. Students are exposed to a lot of real-world examples where they can see the effect that accounting information has on the decisions made by real companies. Also chapters are split into basic and expanded material so that the professor can easily cover the basics of a topic or, if h...

COST ACCOUNTING emphasizes that changing conditions often require a change in cost management systems. Emphasizing this point stresses the dynamic and exciting nature of the field. By taking a systems approach -- one that first covers functional-based cost and control and then activity-based cost systems -- students understand how to understand and manage any cost management system.
Customer Review: Filled With Useless Information
If you want to wade through useless babble to get to the actual cost accounting, go at it. However, you'll probably buy this book anyway if you have an unscrupulous accounting professor who received a gift basket from the publisher. In other words, it's useless to the student. However, I'm sure its very profitable for the publisher and the authors.

The most successful higher education text of all time keeps getting better. The authors adapt their proven approach to accounting's evolving role in business and use the preparation of financial statements as the framework for understanding what accounting is all about. Accounting provides a solid foundation of accounting concepts with unique features to show how users can use accounting to understand business.
Customer Review: Book in great shape

Basic Accounting Fresh From the Lemonade Stand

The world of accounting can be intimidating. But, more often than not, there's no way to avoid it - even non-financial jobs venture into financial jargon and concepts. For those trying to get more done at the office, organize the dollars and cents in a small business, or just in need of a refresher, there's no reason to turn to the average number-crunching class again.

The Accounting Game presents financial information in a for...
Customer Review: An excelent, easy to read book, to understand the Accounting Basics

Customer Review: Good
Everything was perfect. But the book said that a problem solving guide included and I didn't receive anything.

Libby/Libby/Short wrote this text based on their belief that the subject of financial accounting is inherently interesting, but financial accounting textbooks are often not. They believe most financial accounting textbooks fail to demonstrate that accounting is an exciting field of study and one that is important to future careers in business. When writing this text, they considered career relevance as their guide when selecting material, and the need to engage the student as their guide to st...
Customer Review: As good as "financial accounting" is ever gonna get.
This good is very helpful, both graphically and technically. I does a great job of explaining everything in plain english and reenforcing those lesson with real world experience. The one complain i have is that there is no answer key so that I can verify my answer (after all, one slip up can effect every following financial document). HEY LIBBY, LIBBY, AND SHORT! If you can hear me, quit trying to "force the readers to learn." If they want to cheat and not understand the mater...

If you are taking Accounting 1 and 2 only buy this book. Both books are in this one. No one told me to buy this book instead of the Acct. 1 book. So I bought 2 different books which was more money.

Customer Review: It's Accounting
I bought this book for a Managerial accounting class. I found that chapters to be well written and the example easy to follow. Enron gets used a lot. What I didn't like was that problems in the back of the book are not as clear as they could be. Most of the time, I plug in the wrong formula. So that part could have been clearer. The answers are all on a CD, that access a website for the answers. So if you like me and still have dial-up, you may have a problem there too. However I am still pullin...

Customer Review: Great Book!
This is a great accounting book, but I work in a government office and the procedures here are very different that what is depicted in the book. I found some sections very helpful though and if I worked at a small business and was required to set up an accounting system this would have been that perfect book.

Customer Review: What you buy, Is what you get.
I was astonished on how much money i have saved through purchasing this book on amazon, but only if amazon had a order of included accessorized items, such as the publisher's media cd, the personal trainer set, tutor cd, etc. It would probabbly be more expensive together, but money can still be saved besides buying from college bookstore.

Customer Review: Total Rip-off
The book is good, but $130 dollars!!!! You still need to buy a 3 ring binder to put the sheets in, it's not even a paperback, meaning the publisher didn't even spend the money for binding. Who owns this company, Shell? Exxon? Enron?!? There are other accounting books for a fraction of the cost, but the organized crime (my community college) requires this particular one. I wonder what their incentive might be???

Thorough and up-to-date, this book supports any of the most popular approaches to AIS: focus on transaction cycles and controls; focus on systems life cycle; focus on databases and data modeling; or focus on computer-based controls, fraud and auditing.

Customer Review: Introdution to management accouting
Very good. Cover is a little worn. Some pages have been written by pencil.

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 Kn...

Customer Review: Good for MBA class
Overall I liked the book. But there are some goofy computer graphics and sideline stories that take up room and distract the reader. The definitions need to be in the side margins. The book is written well with a lot of examples. It was very expensive and has a lot of color through out it and the cover. I used the optional software PT3 that allows the students to do the homework online. It is good for the students-but there are some formatting errors and the hints are useless. I got an A in the ...
