Book Description
Garrison/Noreen has been- and still is- the market-leading text in managerial accounting, having educated close to 2 million students since its inception. In short, Garrison is the Guide in Managerial Accounting. The lighthouse on the cover symbolizes that for this difficult course, Garrison's comprehensive but manageable coverage, author-written supplements, and peerless end-of-chapter material makes it a safe and dependable choice for instructors and students alike. The loyalty and following it has achieved is due to the authors unwavering commitment to three simple principles: relevance, balance, and clarity.
- Relevance- Every effort has been made to help students relate the concepts in this book to decisions made by working managers. The Managerial Accounting in Action segments within the chapters help students apply concepts to real world problems.
- Balance- Garrison mixes its coverage to include a variety of both service and manufacturing organizations- this includes new coverage of e-commerce and e-tailers. Service examples have been expanded in this new edition and these are marked with a S icon in the margins.
- Clarity- The entire supplements package has been written by the author team to insure that students and professors will work with clear, well-written supplements that employ consistent terminology.
Customer Reviews:
Well Written.......2007-09-24
The book is very concise & well written. It has helped me tremeendously in my Managerial Accounting class, and is very easy to understand.
Everything as expected!.......2007-02-16
The items arrived as expected; the price of the book was below the university bookstore.
Fair.......2007-01-10
The condition of the book when I received was not as good as stated. I did expedited shipping but it was just as slow as the regular shipping rate.
Not worth the money.......2007-01-03
This book was required for the class I took. The Ready Notes is a bound set of Powerpoint slides (3 per page). The instructor did not use the entire set of slides. I could have taken notes during the lecture and saved the money.
Good book .......2006-11-14
It is good book to learn managerial accounting and it also good to keep it as a reference.

Customer Reviews:
Excellent text for introductory compensation course!.......1997-06-20
This book has been a great supplemental text in my UCLA extension class. I had previously used Richard Henderson's book, Compensation Management, Rewarding Performance, but found that it was too technical for my students. This book, by Frederick Hill, covers all the pertinent areas of compensation that are necessary for an introductory course; presents all the information clearly and concisely, with relevant examples, sample forms and cases. I plan on ordering this book for my next class
Book Description
Economic Value Added (EVA) and Value Based Management (VBM) are today’s hottest management buzzwords. But written information has often been biased and clouded by the authors’ hidden agendas. EVA and Value-Based Management is the first book to unflinchingly discuss the pros and cons of EVA and VBM. Covering both implementation and conceptual issues, with a strong emphasis on performance measurement, value drivers, and management compensation, it allows readers to come to their own informed conclusions.
Customer Reviews:
Highly Recommended!.......2003-02-26
Kudos to S. David Young and Stephen F. O'Byrne, management consultants who largely steer clear of their industry's usual empty catchphrases and superficial hype. Instead, their lucid explanation of the importance of shareholder value takes center stage. The heftiness of EVA and Value-Based Management may be daunting, but most readers will be satisfied with Part I's strategic overview. The concepts reappear in Part II accompanied by a wealth of technical details, calculations and case studies to help finance professionals with nitty-gritty implementation of EVA (Economic Value Added) programs. The book honestly assesses EVA's power to motivate managers, noting that some companies just are not well-suited for this performance metric. We from getAbstract prescribe this book to corporate executives who have overdosed on consultant jargon but still want to drive value growth in their companies, and to finance specialists who seek a comprehensive roadmap to EVA implementation.
Excellent book.......2002-08-13
As an author, speaker and consultant on these topics, I highly recommend this book. Not only have the authors discussed the pros and cons of a number of approaches thoughfully and concisely, they also expand the level of understanding related to the calculations in an accessible way. Their book discusses both implementation issues and the nitty gritty of the mechanics. In sum, the book takes the reader to the next level of understanding. I highly recommend this book.
Fails to keep its promise: Metric War + Compensation.......2001-07-02
This book does NOT offer 'A practical guide to valuation' but a theoretical,oldfashioned discussion of the 'Metrics War'and some empirical research on EVA, Compensation and CFROI-Fade.
My rating has got these origins: Empirical research on Compensation,EVA and CFROI-Fade: A+. Discussion of EVA/CFROI: D-. Terminology: D value for 'Hands-on-valuation': F- Structure: F- Style: F-.
This book does contain interesting empirical research on EVA etc, but it does not offer 'A practical Guide to Implementation' because it does not contain a STAGE-Approach. Its terminology differs from any other book I've read, you must often guess, which formulas the authors used, because they did not have the courtesy to express their formulas. Some formulas are wrong nad their discussion of the 'metrics war' betweenn EVA and CFROI lags 5 years behind reality. They attack old methods of CFROI,which Boston Consulting and Holt Value published 5 (!) years ago. They fail to know, that BCG have refined CVA/CFROI and that BAYER. Lufthansa,and VEBA have implemented these refined CFROI-techniques,which are way better, than the old methods, which the book attacks.
Moreover, this book is terrible to read due to a lack of structure, the absence of clear definitions, the lack of formulas, a wordy style,which exhausts your nerves, and many value judgements....
The EVA Guide which holds nothing back!.......2001-02-07
This book, together with 'The Quest for Value'by G. Bennett Stewart, III and 'Valuation' by the Tom Copeland, provide a solid backgound on value-based management. S. David Young and Stephen F. O'Byrne give a fair description of their book: 'This book is not a intended to be a "teaser," which tries to tell you enough to whet your appetite so if you want to know more you will have to hire us as your consultants. We aim to be as comprehensive in our treatment of the subject as possible...We try to hold nothing back.' Thank you very much indeed.
is that right, EVA?.......2001-02-03
I had a great approach to EVA concept but it too much simple in finances. Any way it is a good point to start the trip through the EVA world. The principle of EVA appears sound, but this book is good at attempting to illustrate how to practically use it.

The Audit Committee Handbook
ASIN: 0471389803 |
Book Description
The Compensation Committee Handbook is a practical, how-to reference for providing requisite knowledge of a compensation committees role and responsibilities, best practices and business strategies, and fundamental operational procedures, including self-assessment. Every aspect is covered here, including forming a compensation committee with associated responsibilities, selecting and training members, conducting effective meetings, keeping members abreast of current trends and events, and providing the best compensation programs given a companys short- and long-term business strategies. All the essential information regarding finance, compensation, legal issues, and the recruitment and training of directors is conveniently brought together in this single, easy-to-use volume.
Presented in four parts, the first section outlines the fundamental responsibilities of each compensation committee member, as well as the framework of accounting, tax, securities rules, and the basics of compensation programs. Section two covers five current issues: change-in-control agreements, option repricing, reload stock options, pooling of interests accounting, and new accounting rules. The third section examines strategies for positioning the compensation committee as a performance-enhancing tool. The final section is a comprehensive resource of rules and regulations, comparison charts to monitor progress, and resources to provide information and training to the committee.
Be it a small company forming a compensation committee or a large company that needs the latest strategies to help its board of directors discharge fiduciary responsibility to the stockholders, The Compensation Committee Handbook is indispensable to corporate directors and compensation committee members, corporate secretaries, general counsel, CEOs, CFOs, and human resources executives.
Written in a practical style, this handbook provides comprehensive guidance to compensation committee members and their advisors on how to maximize the potential of the committee. It analyzes the latest trends in CEO compensation for small, mid- and large-sized businesses and helps compensation committees meld technical information with sound business judgement.
"Jim Reda has written an excellent and a remarkably thorough handbook for compensation committees of boards of directors. It is certain to become a well-worn volume on the bookshelves not only of compensation committee members, but also of CEO's, board chairmen, CFO's and corporate secretaries. I highly recommend this book to the 4000 members of the American Society of Corporate Secretaries. It is an indispensable guide and resource for good corporate governance."--(David W. Smith, President American Society of Corporate Secretaries, Inc.)
"Every board member is interested in how to be more efficient and effective in compensation decision-making. James Reda has impressive consulting and research credentials for enlightening directors on this matter. His new book presents both the fundamental concepts and practical strategies of 'best practices' compensation in a way that will boost the performance of any compensation committee."--(James Kristie, Editor Directors & Boards)
Download Description
This Second Edition provides a comprehensive review of the issues facing compensation committees and covers functional issues such as organising, planning, and best practice tips.

Customer Reviews:
AN EXCEPTIONALLY VALUABLE REFERENCE!.......2002-06-12
Written for compensation committee members and those who work with them, this text covers: information on the committee's responsibilities; ways to organize a committee; legal position of the committee; selection and training of members; a broad framework for accounting, tax, and securities rules; and the basics of compensation programs. It examines current issues on executive employment agreements, option repricing, reload stock options, pooling-of-interests accounting, and new accounting rules. It provides guidance, especially for small- to medium-sized companies. Includes detailed information on rules and regulations, comparison charts to monitor the progress against compensation strategies, an enormous glossary, and information and training resources geared to committee needs. This is a unique and exceptionally valuable reference for compensation subjects that require committee action. It has exceptional technical depth and clarity. As a compensation consultant myself, I highly recommend this book. James Reda has done an outstanding job!
Book Description
This practical resource offers best-practice guidance on all aspects of executive compensation.
Product Description
Executive compensation issues have become more prevalent and complex in the past few years, as businesses implement larger and more elaborate arrangements to both recruit new executives in an increasing competitive job market, while retaining those executives upon whose skills and expertise the employer relies to make business decisions. Similarly, however, shareholders of corporations have become increasingly inclined to voice their concerns over the large compensation packages given to certain executives through the filing of lawsuits against the corporation's directors, alleging that such individuals breached their fiduciary duties in approving such compensation arrangements. Both of these competing elements were recently highlighted in the Disney decision. The author will examine the litigation claims raised by Disney's shareholders, the defenses offered by the company's executives, and the manner in which the Court of Chancery ruled with respect to both subjects. Readers will become more aware of their fiduciary duties with respect to the implementation and approval of executive compensation arrangements, including the role in which the business judgment rule plays with respect to such decisions. The manual will examine what steps the directors in the Disney decision could have potentially taken to avoid any potential litigation claims, and will outline a practical guide to a best practices approach that other boards of directors (and those advising them) could implement to protect themselves from breach of fiduciary duty claims with respect to their corporation's executive compensation packages.
