Summary: There is something for everyone
Review: As a matter of fact, I have only read the three first chapters of the book, because my objective was to have an overview of the subject. In this sense, I would for sure give 5 stars to the book, and recommend it for every manager that should have not only and overview of ABC/M, but also would be looking for valuable insights regarding the implementation of ABC/M initiatives.

Summary: Correcting Unfair Accounting Inequities
Review: It's been six years since Cokins last book on Activity-Based Cost Management (ABC/M) and times have changed. In his latest effort, this internationally recognized expert, explains how ABC/M can be used to map your customers' and prospects' preferences back to your organizations business processes, develop a lean accounting system and remove waste and redundancy. With the system's output, the author says, managers will make balanced scorecard performance measurements, project and quality decisions. Cokin avoids technical jargon when he explains the theory and its formulas. Although the system is complex, Cokin remains down-to-earth and pointed in his analysis.
