To extend the teaching materials of Cost Management, 4e, this casebook provides additional cases and articles for each chapter, with the same teaching objectives as the text material. The longer cases found in this supplement help to facilitate more extensive discussion and analysis by students. The articles cover real world situations and have accompanying discussion questions. The overall purpose of the casebook is to help students develop analytical skills by organizing unstructured information in a case, devise appropriate analyses and draw appropriate conclusions. The articles provide examples of how actual firms have implemented cost management methods explained in the chapter, as well as show a perspective of how cost management methods are used in practice and the effects of using these methods.
