Accounting: Information for Business Decisions is designed to lead students through the real-world business cycle and how accounting information informs the decision making process throughout this cycle. Students will learn how to base these decisions on two kinds of accounting information – managerial and financial. Departing from the traditional approach introductory accounting textbooks take, students are called on to apply both the managerial and financial approaches throughout the topic coverage of each chapter, instead of focusing on each aspect in isolation of the other. The conversational approach of the writing engages students in the theoretical content and how it applies to contemporary real-world scenarios. [from publisher's website].
