- Framework for Organisational Change presented in Chapter One, and applied consistently throughout the text.
- Trade-offs in that one accounting system cannot meet all information demands; some aspects of the system are better used as a control mechanism; others as a planning device. No one system can do all and organisations cannot afford the luxury of one system for each purpose.
- Business Analyses to demonstrate through real world examples how organisations deal with the challenge to create organisational value. These examples incorporate questions linked to the analytical framework to encourage students to think about how an organisation might approach such issues.
- Numerical and conceptual examples throughout the text to re-inforce chapter material.
- End-of-chapter material, linked to the learning objectives, which emphasises analysis and interpretation, along with numerical computations. Problems frequently do not have one right answer, requiring students to develop critical thinking skills. Problems and cases are multi-dimensional to motivate students to examine situations from a broad management perspective and often competing angles.
- Chapters that build on each other; the first presents the analytical framework and trade-offs in uses of the accounting system; the next four chapters focus on strategy and planning decisions; chapter six and seven examine strategy and control mechanisms; the following four chapters develop an understanding of the trade-offs that occur when accounting systems are used for both planning and control; chapter twelve provides a summary of the text and points to current innovations in management accounting; the next two chapters can be integrated into the chapter sequence, depending on the specifics of the course
