Over the last two decades, cost management has been an area of dynamic change and development. This is evident in the extensive inventory of new, high-profile techniques that have emerged.
With cost management now firmly established as a distinct sub-discipline within management accounting, The Routledge Companion to Cost Management is a timely reference volume covering both practical developments and research in this area. Topics covered include:
- Cost control issues
- Cost analysis and decision making
- Cost management systems
- Environmental cost management
With chapters from an international team of contributors, this prestigious companion will prove an indispensible addition to any library with aspirations of keeping up-to-date with the world of accounting.
'This wide-ranging, up-to-date, clear and detailed survey will be an essential resource for researchers and practitioners alike in the field of cost management.'

'This companioncovers an admirable range of topics in cost management, from the very well known, such as budgeting, to capacity usage. Seminal papers are blended with very recent research, producing an excellent handbook for academics and students seeking a concise summary of knowledge in the field.'
