In response to innovations in manufacturing, Japanese companies have developed new management accounting techniques. Here, in 33 articles, dozens of experts reveal proven accounting practices with case studies, surveys, and the latest research. This book shows how to transform existing accounting structures into companywide cost management programs. More than 30 chapters cover how to use target pricing to achieve and assure market share; target costing to reduce costs and raise profits; why to focus on return on sales instead of return on investment; and why cost management, like quality and productivity, is the responsibility of all employees.
