This multipack consists of Atkinson: Management Accounting Pearson International Edition 4th Edition (ISBN 0131230263) and Young: Reading Management Accounting 4th Edition (ISBN 0131422154).

Each of the books authors is both a scholar and a top consultant for Fortune 500 and smaller companies. As a result, they have a unique focus: to help readers better understand management accounting topics, research, and issues from the perspective of a business manager. KEY TOPICS A twelve chapter organization and framework addresses the needs of future business managers—specifically, how to interpret and use accounting information to make good decisions. The book answers many pertinent questions: What defines the nature, focus, and scope of management accounting? What determines the cost of products or customers? How do costs change over the products life cycle? What approaches do managers use to compute the costs of their products and services? How can we use cost for planning and decision-making purposes? How can we use revenue and cost information for capacity planning and profit planning and evaluation purposes? How can we manage and control organizational behaviour through organizational design, and how does cost information inform the process of control? MARKET: For management accountants, cost system designers, incentive compensation system designers, and balanced scorecard implementers.

Reading Management Accounting contains thirty-nine recent business press and academic articles—all representing state-of-the-art thinking and examples on a wide variety of management accounting topics in many types of service and manufacturing contexts. The articles parallel the contents of Management Accounting 4/e (Atkinson, et al.), but can be used with any core management and cost accounting text. Grids in the Instructors Manual help correlate the readings to many popular texts.
