Chapters Thirteen through Eighteen discuss managerial performance evaluation, with an emphasis on a "did it cost too much?" theme; and Chapter Nineteen concludes and provides a synthesis. This edition may be used as an undergraduate or graduate textbook and as a professional reference. The solutions manual is available upon request at joel.demski@cba.ufl.edu.
"For any serious student of the use of accounting information Professor Demski's book is imperative. A plethora of institutional detail is anchored on intellectual foundations. It is the most important book on accounting since [Pacioli’s] Summa de Arithmetica."

"This book is profound and engaging, an absolute gem. It is, by far, the most meaningful and disciplined treatment on the roles of accounting in organizations."

"Managerial Uses of Accounting Information is an excellent text that is the only one I know of that seriously addresses the question of product costing and decision making in a setting of interacting products, uncertainty, and strategic interactions among firms. It abstracts away from the details to get at what is fundamental and lasting about the accountant's art. Finally, its focus on decision framing is a novel and interesting unifying theme. It is a fantastic book to use for anyadvanced business class."

The second edition of Dr. Demski’s book reflects his experiences teaching undergraduates, masters and doctoral students. It is the first textbook in this area to offer an academic perspective. Dr. Demski emphasizes economic fundamentals as the guiding foundation coupled with an artful application of those fundamentals. This applies to product costing, decision making and evaluation art. A great deal of traditional minutiae has been removed by the author, in order to keep this theme in constant focus. This thematic approach, in his experience, works in dramatic fashion, and stands in sharp contrast to more traditional presentations of this material. The book is not only for use as textbook but also as a reference book. A solutions manual for instructors will be easily obtainable on Dr. Demski's website.
