This book illustrates the importance effective cost management systems in
providing a supportive environment in which reliable and relevant management
information can be generated. Such a cost management system is only attainable
if the importance of key business, operational and stakeholder requirements are
recognised within the organisational context. In illustrating this importance, this
book provides several case studies as examples thereof. The first two case studies
focus on the engineering sector and illustrates the development of a cost
management system in a water recycling context; and the design of a budgetary
system in a mining engineering context. The remaining case studies focus on the
services sector, including cost management systems for a digital technology
services provider and a medical insurance services provider; an alternative
activity-based costing approach for a public sector services provider; and finallya re-designed value stream for an automotive services provider. Academic
researchers and industry managers in the fields of management accounting and
financial management, as well as engineering and operations management, will
find value in the experiences described herein.

Information regarding the right of withdrawal
Statutory right to withdraw
You have the right to withdraw from this contract within 14 days without giving any reason.
The withdrawal period will expire after 14 days from the day on which you acquire, or a third party other than the carrier and indicated by you acquires, physical possession of the last good or the last lot or piece.
To exercise the right of withdrawal, electronically fill in and submit a clear statement on our website, under "My Purchases" in "My Account". We will communicate to you an acknowledgement of receipt of such a withdrawal on a durable medium (e.g. by e-mail) without delay.
To meet the withdrawal deadline, it is sufficient for you to send your communication concerning your exercise of the right of withdrawal before the withdrawal period has expired.
Effects of withdrawal
If you withdraw from this contract, we will reimburse to you all payments received from you, including the costs of delivery (except for the supplementary costs arising if you chose a type of delivery other than the least expensive type of standard delivery offered by us).
We may make a deduction from the reimbursement for loss in value of any goods supplied, if the loss is the result of unnecessary handling by you.
We will make the reimbursement without undue delay, and not later than 14 days after the day on which we are informed about your decision to withdraw from this contract.
We will make the reimbursement using the same means of payment as you used for the initial transaction, unless you have expressly agreed otherwise; in any event, you will not incur any fees as a result of such reimbursement.

The deadline is met if you send back the goods before the period of 14 days has expired. You will have to bear the direct cost of returning the goods. You are only liable for any diminished value of the goods resulting from the handling other than what is necessary to establish the nature, characteristics and functioning of the goods.
