Product Description

As the long-time best-seller, Garrison has helped guide close to 2 million students through the challenging waters of managerial accounting since it was first published. It identifies the three functions managers must perform within their organizations-plan operations, control activities, and make decisions-and explains what accounting information is necessary for these functions, how to collect it, and how to interpret it. To achieve this, Managerial Accounting, 11/E, focuses, now as in the past, on three qualities: Relevance: Every effort is made to help students relate the concepts in this book to the decisions made by working managers. With insightful chapter openers, the popular Managerial Accounting in Action segments within the chapters, and stimulating end-of-chapter exercises, a student reading Garrison should never have to ask "Why am I learning this?" Balance: There’s more than one type of business, and so Garrison covers a variety of business models, including not-for-profit, retail, service, and wholesale organizations as well as manufacturing. In the eleventh edition, service company examples are highlighted with icons in the margins of the text. Clarity: Generations of students have praised Garrison for the friendliness and readability of its writing, but that’s just the beginning. Technical discussions have been simplified, material has been reordered, and the entire book carefully retuned to make teaching-and learning-from Garrison as easy as it can be. In addition, the supplements package is written by Garrison, Noreen, and Brewer, ensuring that students and professors will work with clear, well-written supplements that employ consistent terminology.

Customer Reviews

Managerial Accounting
I am very satisfied with my purchase because i received my book in great condition and speedy delivery.

Dense, Reference Only
This book is just ok. I've seen better. The content is dense and may be useful for a reference for accountants - which I'm not. I tried to sell it but no one will take it even as just a year old. I'd rather Google the things I'll need than to try to intrepret it from this book.

Wow, Buyer beware - NO DVD as advertised
Wow, Buyer beware.

The DVD does NOT come with this book.

The DVD promoted on Roman numeral page v as free with the book does NOT come with the book and CANNOT be obtained.

the good folks at Amazon were blindsided by the publishers.

The publisher blew me off like dandruff on a dark suit when I requested the DVD. I even faxed the page out of the book that boasts about the DVD.

Wow, Buyer beware. You will never get the DVD promoted as free with book.

But if you are willing to pay extra $$$ you might get some secret special on-line help. But hey, wasn't I promised, written in the book, a free DVD?

Oh yeah, well they lied about that. Just cough up more than you paid for the book and they will give you on-line support, promise.

Fool me once.
