Drawing upon cost accounting, mathematics, operations research,
economics, and the behavioral sciences, Riahi-Belkaoui answers the
call for a unique, multifaceted approach to the study of management
accounting. His goal: to enhance performance in the essential tasks
of cost estimation, allocation, planning, control, and performance
evaluation. He covers the traditional techniques, but expands into
quantitative methods and applications, then extends further into
the behavioral unification of these techniques. His book is state
of the art, ingenious in the way it adapts quantitative methods'
solutions to traditional cost accounting topics, and innovative in
its use of the behavioral implications. The result is an important
resource for professionals, academics, and upper-level students in
the field.
Riahi-Belkaoui arranges his various techniques chapter by
chapter. First, he looks at cost allocation and then at cost-volume
profit analysis under stochastic conditions. In Chapter three he
treats regression for cost estimation; in Chapter Four, the
learning curve for the same purpose. He takes up advanced planning
analysis in Chapter Five, advanced control analysis in Chapter Six,
and decentralizing and performance evaluation in Chapter Seven. He
then finishes with an important discussion of transfer pricing.
