Publisher's Note
Course Overview: Management/Managerial Accounting (undergraduate and MBA) The managerial accounting course follows financial accounting in a two-course sequence for first and second year business majors. It is found at both two and four year schools, as well as in MBA programs. The purpose of managerial accounting is to provide managers with information useful in planning and controlling the activities of a business. It deals with internal, rather than external information. Managerial accounting reports include budgets, performance reports, and analysis of economic alternatives such as make-or-buy manufacturing decisions. The market is segmented into traditional, transitional, and innovative text offerings. Hilton falls into the traditional to transitional market segment.

Title Overview: The emphasis of Managerial Accounting, 9th edition is on teaching students to use accounting information to best manage an organization. In a practice Hilton pioneered in the first edition, each chapter is written around a realistic business or focus company that guides the reader through the topics of that chapter. Known for balanced examples of Service, Retail, Nonprofit and Manufacturing companies, Hilton offers a clear, engaging writing style that has been praised by instructors and students alike. As in previous editions, there is significant coverage of contemporary topics such as activity-based costing, target costing, the value chain, customer profitability analysis, and throughput costing while also including traditional topics such as job-order costing, budgeting and performance evaluation.

Easy to understand, repeats some verbiage

 | Yes, I would recommend this product to a friend.

I purchased this book for an MBA class. Overall, it is very easy to understand and written in a logical format, giving a narrative first then an example. The only drawback compared to other textbooks is that this one tends to repeat the same verbiage quite a bit (e.g., give definitions for terms again in subsequent chapters). Some may find this useful, but I would rather have less text to read. Overall, it is still a very good book for the unexciting material that it covers.

Good book - Caution what edition do you need.

Good book very informative, however the readings have been repetitious. The seventh, ninth, and eleventh editions have the exact same chapter information, examples and problems; the chapters have just been rearranged. For example, what may be chapter 11 in one edition is Chapter 14 or Chapter 9 in another.

Don't buy the International book. It has similar contents, but the problems are different from the US version. This was really frustrating since this book was still expensive as an International version.
