Wild’s Managerial Accounting presents the managerial accounting course content using a corporate approach. In features the same student-friendly writing style and learning tools that have enjoyed consistent success with students and instructors using other texts in the Wild series. Also consistent with this series is Managerial Accounting’s focus on the “Three C’s”:

•Concise coverage to help students focus on important material,
•Cutting edge technology to engage students and improve their chances for success.
The author provides a balance of small and large business examples, integration of new computerized learning tools, superior end-of-chapter materials, and highly engaging pedagogical learning structures. Technology tools such as Connect Accounting provide students with further advantages as they learn as well as apply key accounting concepts and methods.

This book does a good job of presenting accounting formulas and explaining most of the logic behind them.
However, I firmly believe all textbooks should be able to be read through without the assistance of an instructor and be understood by anyone of sound mental capacity who picks it up and sincerely tries. This book isn't like that. When presenting examples, Wild/Shaw fails to state which numbers/calculations are "givens" and what has been computed--this is fundamentally confusing; and a large portion of time is wasted trying to figure out where numbers are even coming from.
I recommend to Shaw to address this if there is to be a 2011 Edition of "Managerial Accounting".
The book is great cheaper than what yo will find in most school bookstores. I like how the book have key notes and refrences for the review section in the end of the chapters. Also, they give oyu some answers on the problems to guide oyu through and keep you on track.
Good, recieved it when told & was exactly wat I needed. It was new as I was expecting it. Really good deal!!
