Accounting for Managers

Peter M. Bergevin and Michael M.
MacQueen's objective in writing Accounting for Managers is
to make students and professionals informed users of
accounting data. They believe in getting to the point and
demonstrating the practical benefits of accounting. In other
words, their book is the anti-textbook textbook, it reflects
the authors' educational and life philosophy: get to point
and do something about it. Improve your decision-making
abilities and climb the corporate ladder. Accounting for
Managers enables you to unleash the power of financial
information in order to improve your ability to conduct
business operations, make shrewd investments, and secure
needed financing. Unlike stuffy treatments of accounting,
Accounting for Managers clearly and concisely provides you
with the needed financial information necessary to make the
right choices at the right time. Accounting for Managers
seamlessly integrates accounting theory with practice. Its
information, insights, and lessons will help you to convert
business challenges into professional accomplishments. This
superb treatment of the "Language of Business" will reside
on your desk through the years as your professional
successes mount. Accounting for Managers is an ideal text
for managerial accounting courses in MBA programs. It is
especially suitable to online, accelerated, and executive programs.
