Introduce your students to the dynamic, exciting nature of cost management as this edition demonstrates how today's conditions consistently require change in cost management systems. Hansen/Mowen/Guan's Cost Management: Accounting and Control, Sixth Edition, first covers functional-based cost and control and then activity-based cost systems, giving students the understanding and skills to manage any cost management system. This edition's expansive coverage and consistent attention to technical detail provides a thorough, well-researched foundation for learning. It addresses the most recent influential topics and emerging processes affecting the discipline, including a new chapter on lean accounting and a focus on technology tools that positively impact internal costing practices.
A new 6th edition of Hansen has just published. This has a green/black cover with an aircraft cockpit on it (ISBN: 0324559674). If you still want to buy the old 5th edition (why?), only buy the one with a black/brown cover showing people around a table. Make sure you buy the correct edition. I have just has two buyers buy the wrong edition because they didn't check the ISBN: or edition details correctly.
