Managerial Accounting is full of pedagogy designed to make studying productive and hassle free. The engaging and helpful pedagogical features have made Garrison a beacon for over two million students.

Opening Vignette:
Each chapter opens with a Business Focus feature that provides a real-world example for students, allowing them to see how the chapter’s information and insights apply to the world outside the classroom. Learning Objectives alert students to what they should expect as they progress through the chapter.

"In Business" Boxes:
These helpful boxed features offer a glimpse into how real companies use the managerial accounting concepts discussed within the chapter. Each chapter contains from three to fourteen of these current examples.

"Managerial Accounting in Action" Vignettes:
These highly praised vignettes depict cross-functional teams working together in real-life settings, working with the products and services that students recognize from their own lives. Students are shown step-by-step how accounting concepts are implemented in organizations and how these concepts are applied to solve everyday business problems. First, “The Issue” is introduced through a dialogue; the student then walks through the implementation process; finally, “The Wrap-up” summarizes the big picture.

End-of-Chapter Material:
Managerial Accounting has earned a reputation for the best end-of-chapter review and discussion material of any text on the market. Our problem and case material continues to conform to AACSB recommendations and makes a great starting point for class discussions and group projects. When Ray Garrison first created the Managerial Accounting text, he started with the end-of-chapter material then wrote the narrative in support of it. This unique approach to textbook authoring not only ensured consistency between the practice material and text content, but also underscored Garrison's fundamental belief in the importance of applying theory through practice. It is not enough for students to read, they must also understand. To this day, the guiding principle of that first edition remains and Garrison's superior end-of-chapter material continues to provide accurate, current, and relevant practice for students.

Research and Application Cases using 10-K data from companies such as Whole Foods Market, Dell, FedEx, and Target offer end-of-chapter learning opportunities for students to identify strategy and business risks and evaluate managerial accounting concepts within a real world context.

Author-Written Supplements:
Unlike other managerial accounting texts, Garrison, Noreen, Brewer, Cheng, and Yuen, write all of the text's major supplements, ensuring a perfect fit between text and supplement. For more information on Managerial Accounting’s supplements package, see page xviii.
