This textbook presents concepts and applications of Management
Accounting, one of the main approaches used by management to support
future organisational performance. It covers methods and instruments of
management and cost accounting, cost management, and management control
and is based on the German textbook "Interne Unternehmensrechnung" by
Ralf Ewert and Alfred Wagenhofer (Springer).
The authors describe the managerial uses of accounting information, both
for decision-making and decision-influencing, and provide a broad
perspective on the subject combining the academic foundations of the
field with recent cutting-edge research results. Moreover, traditions of
German accounting theory and practice that are little known outside of
the German-speaking countries are reflected in the book. With its unique
approach based on information economics, the textbook offers a
comprehensive and innovative presentation to a global audience.
