Summary: Simply The Best Managerial Accounting Text
Review: A practitioner and a user for more than 30 years, I am convinced that Garrison's Managerial Accounting Text is the most useful and the most readable managerial accounting text on the market. Students rate this the easiest text to read and understand, empirical tests indicate that the text is a good read at the college sophomore level. The illustrations are careful and attractive. Also available are excellent videos which make many parts of the text come to life. No question this text is the all round managerial accounting winner.

Summary: Managerial Accounting, 10th Edition
Review: Garrison/Noreen has been and is still the leading text in managerial accounting, having educated close to 2 million students since its begining. In short, Garrison is the Guide in Managerial Accounting. The lighthouse on the cover symbolizes that for this difficult course, Garrisons comprehensive but manageable coverage, author-written supplements, and peerless end-of-chapter material makes it a safe and dependable choice for instructors and students alike. The loyalty and following it has achieved is due to the authors unwavering commitment to three simple principles: relevance, balance, and clarity. Relevance- Every effort has been made to help students relate the concepts in this book to decisions made by working managers. The Managerial Accounting in Action segments within the chapters help students apply concepts to real world problems. Balance- Garrison mixes its coverage to include a variety of both service and manufacturing organizations- this includes new coverage of e-commerce and e-tailers. Service examples have been expanded in this new edition and these are marked with a S icon in the margins. Clarity- The entire supplements package has been written by the author team to insure that students and professors will work with clear, well-written supplements that employ consistent terminology.

Summary: good accounting book
Review: not a big fan of accounting, but i must admit, this is a really good textbook. anytime i got lost in my classes or lecture, this book explains things in a very clear and organized way to help you better understand. the problems are long but extremely helpful in getting a handle on the methods. the real world examples they use in the text also adds to whatever concept you're learning. i couldn't imagine a better managerial accounting book at the moment. so 5 stars. yup. i'm so glad i'm done with this course...

Summary: good accounting book
Review: Now, this book is really good in explaining accounting concepts. My instructor used this book in teaching. The online notes provided to instructor is really good. I missed several lectures because of my illness, so I had to do some catch up by reading this book myself. The exercises provided in the book increase my analytical thinking. I was able to answer my exam paper with flying colours because of this book. The drawback for this book is only there's not much graphics or pictures to make reading easy.

Summary: A college student's opinion on this book
Review: The good part of the book was the fact that it came with a cd-rom. The bad part was that it was very hard to understand, even when the professor tried to explain the concepts behind what the authors were saying. Budgeting was the toughest chapter to understand because it seemed like each of the 10 concepts in that chapter weren't explained enough for me nor any of my classmates to understand.

Summary: Managerial Accounting, 9th edition
Review: This is an outstanding book, which covers complex topics on a very friendly manner. Maybe for some readers this book may seem hard to understand, so I strongly recommend everybody to think over the necessity of studying managerial accounting. For me as a person who works with internal finance and who makes prompt decisions upon raw timely data, the book was a relief. It covers such immensely important topics as break-even, leverage, cost behavior and structure, and so forth. One suggestion, do not learn everything by heart, it's useless. You never learn everything in managerial accounting. Use the book as a reference for your everyday needs. Good luck.
