Editor's Notes and Comments:
Product Description:
Cost Management: A Strategic Emphasis, by Blocher/Stout/Cokins/Chen is the very first cost accounting text to offer integrated coverage of strategic management topics in cost accounting. The text is written to help students understand more about management and the role of cost accounting in helping an organization succeed. This text aims to teach management concepts and methods, and to demonstrate how managers use cost management information to make better decisions and improve their organization�s competitiveness. In teaching these key management skills, the text takes on a strategic focus. It addresses issues such as: How does a firm compete? What type of cost management information is needed for a firm to succeed? How does the management accountant develop and present this information? This text helps students learn why, when, and how cost information is used to make effective decisions that lead a firm to success.

Really liked the book overall, although I think it is weighted too heavily toward manufacturing and could beef up on services.
My main criticism is that i bought the book based on the assumption that the site would have excel spreadsheets to work the problems, etc, but this information is not available. (If you search inside the book, you will see the claim that spreadsheets are available on the site. They are only available to instructors)

To All Readers of the Posted Comment regarding Cost Management: A Strategic Emphasis--the posted comment refers to the 2nd Edition of this text. The most recent edition, of which I am now a coauthor, is the 4th edition, which carries a 2008 copyright date. The latest edition of the text is materially different from the previous editions. Please keep these points in mind as you consider the latest edition of the text. Thank you.

I bought this book to help me studying for my part 3 CMA exam.
The reason I removed the fifth star from my rating is:
First : It does not have enough questions, or questions are irrelevant to the ones you get in a CMA exam. Besides, there are no answers given to help you evaluate your self.
Second: Though it has a good website for student support ... some main chapters are still under construction!!
My Conclusion is that If you are a manager, you will find this book very helpful more than any other book but if you are a student you better use another text book like Horngren .
