 "Introduction to Managerial Accounting" , 5/e by Brewer, Garrison, and, Noreen is based on the market-leading text, "Managerial Accounting" , by Garrison, Noreen, and, Brewer. However, this is not simply a briefer book with chapters removed; "Brewer" 5e has been rethought and retooled to meet the needs of the market. "Brewer" 5e is a more accessible, yet thoroughly student-friendly text that satisfies the basic needs of the managerial accounting student without unnecessary depth on advanced topics associated with the follow-up course: cost accounting/cost management. Faculty and students alike will find this new edition has retained the hallmark features of the Garrison brand: author-written supplements, excellent readability, terrific examples, and balanced end-of-chapter material.
