Summary	This groundbreaking book examines why traditional managerial accounting methods have become obsolete in a new age of advanced technology and information systems. It discusses why they can only treat the symptoms rather than the root causes of problems and why they are incapable of measuring and making visible the actual costs of providing a service - a key to eliminating wasteful activities. Activity-Based Management argues that activities - the basic components of an organization and the building blocks for analyzing costs - must be the backbone of any contemporary managerial system. It reveals how activity management highlights those resources that drive costs, focuses corporate strategy, supports continuous improvement, enhances decision support systems, and ensures that plans are transmitted to a level at which effective remedial actions can be taken.
