Customer Reviews

Great transaction!!!!

This was a great transaction. I recieved the book in time and in the condition described. Thanks!!!

Solid but give us some spreadsheets!

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)

Good for managers bad for students

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 .
