Activity-Based Costing: A Review with Case Studies (CIMA Research S.)

Book Description

Few management accounting developments have aroused such interest among academics and users as activity based costing (ABC). This book adds to the growing body of knowledge on activity based costing and contributes to the important debate on its potential as a profitability enhancer within industry.
In the last ten years doubt has been cast on the suitability of conventional costing systems as applied to contemporary industrial and commercial environments. In particular, product or service line costs may be distorted and cost management impeded by the difficulties of identifying cost driver relationships.

Activity based costing has been proposed as a solution to these problems.

This research report details instances of activity based costing in practice and includes the first three published British case studies in the areas of electronics, engineering and retailing. The problems of implementing an ABC system, and its limitations are also discussed.

From the supplier: The media is working to change the negative reputation it earned during the circus-like coverage of the O.J. Simpson trial by cooperating with each other and organizing more serious and thoughtful coverage of the Oklahoma City bombing trial. Members of the media formed a consortium organized to work closely with court administrators to ensure that all aspects of trial reporting are handled in an orderly and professional manner. The consortium and federal officials have created a rotation system for reporters in the courtroom.

Good recipes, beautiful photos, but NOT quick!.......2002-04-16

Just like her "Quick Cook" book, the "Menus" book has fabulous photos and recipes that do work, but each RECIPE takes at least a full hour; there is no way one person could do a whole menu in an hour unless he/she had six arms. Also, like the other book, many of the ingredients are hard to find, and almost all of the recipes call for fresh herbs (and you can tell that dried herbs just wouldn't work).

Customer Reviews:

I love this book!!.......2007-09-15

My husband does all the cooking--and is a great and innovative cook who has the ability to make splendid meals without a recipe! Then there is me... I enjoy great food but am not a very accomplished cook. Thank goodness for Martha Stewart's Quick Cook Menus.
I have had the hardbook version of this wonderful cookbook for almost 20 years and (before marriage) made MANY OUTSTANDING dinners from it! It is well-presented, easy to put a fabulous dinner together with the companion dishes, and it is not difficult to find most ingredients!! Now that I don't cook, I STILL browse this cookbook (I'm no dummy, though--if I started cooking from it, I would have to take over the kitchen...).
I just ordered two copies for gifts, one for my newly married niece (unfortunately, she didn't hold out for a chef!!) and the other for a good friend. I highly recommend this!!!

Quick and Quality Meals.......2007-01-20

This is an excellent cookbook for the cook who wants to prepare quality meals, but has limited time. Most ingredients, including seasonings, are easily procured or already on the shelf. Photography is beautiful and adds to the appeal of the food. I could happily have done without Martha's tedious running commentary on her fast track personal life, and that of her now divorced husband. But that can be ignored. It's the recipes that matter. This is a cook book that gets pulled down from the shelf.

Great Cookbook with Great Results!.......2006-04-14

Great cookbook with well written instructions. Practical recipes for the most part.
I have found most of Martha Stewart's recipes do work and are delishous.
I wish "Collected Recipes for Every Day" had pictures like this one does.

If "jeffsdate" cannot finish these menues in an hour, he must not be used to multi-tasking.

Good recipes, beautiful photos, but NOT quick!.......2002-04-16

The photos in this book are really gorgeous and the recipes do work. However -- there is NO WAY one person could make any of the full menus in just an hour! I would say that each individual dish takes at least an hour -- doing a whole Martha menu is a major undertaking. Another problem -- many of the ingredients are hard to find (even in the sophisticated greater Boston area!) and she relies heavily on fresh herbs in practically every recipe, which is just not practical for me. Not only is fresh sorrel unavailable in any store I know of, but even sorrel SEEDS, so you can grow your own sorrel, are hard to find!

come on martha.......2001-06-14

i purchased this book based on the on-site reviews. although it must have worked for some, not this cook. i enjoy the kitchen a lot and consider myself pretty good at it --- just a bit bored and restless with my current menus. this was just way too stuffy. or perhaps the new phrase is "way too martha". yick. the menus are dated and boring. oh well, i tried.
