This College/MBA level book does have something in common with books in the 'For Dummies' series: It provides very clear explanations, of essential concepts. In addition it is well illustrated with clear, to the point, useful diagrams and illustrations that are worth "a thousand words".
Having read other accounting texts such as Horngren's books, this book is great as an introduction, for overview, or for review of Managerial Accounting Jiambalvo 4th Edition concepts. It provides clear definitions of terms and concepts. It helps to understand and implement concepts. And, it gives practical examples how decision making is affected by incremental costs, and by what you measure.
This is not a basic or simple text. It explains Managerial Accounting Jiambalvo 4th Edition very well. A CD with case demonstrations livens the adds to its modern format. The fact that James Jiambalvo, through his clarity, style and organization, manages to make important accounting concepts appear so clear and simple, is a credit to his style.
