Features: Cost is both the stepping stone for benefits and the sword of Damocles over benefits; the cost-benefit relationship is the core relationship in economic management activities. Cost-benefit management is the most commonly used overarching strategy from macro national economy to micro business operations, with cost management being the key to cost-benefit management. This book presents numerous cost management challenges faced by decision-makers in the form of cases, especially in cost accounting management. Through problem-induced prompts and guidance, readers are inspired to deepen their understanding and application of cost management, particularly cost accounting management. The cases in the book are largely compiled from the management cases of many renowned American business schools and adapted by the renowned cost management scholar, Professor John K. Shank. Its height can be said to stand above the mix of superficial cases. Cases 1-32 are translated by Li Hongming, and cases 33-35 are translated by Cui Jiafang. The translators express their gratitude to the Sichuan University School of Economics and the Sichuan Branch of the Agricultural Development Bank of China for their support.
