Students learn to prepare and interpret management accounting information for both 
operational and strategic decision making.  Specifically, students learn how to 
determine the costs and profitability of different products, services, and 
customers.  Students learn how to use that cost information along with other cost 
and revenue data to prepare cost-volume profit analyses, and to make informed 
strategic and operational business decisions, such as identifying relevant revenues 
and costs for special short-term decisions, such as accepting or rejecting one-time 
only special orders.  Students learn how to use cost information to plan business 
operations, and to measure performance of different responsibility centers and 
their managers using techniques such as variance analysis.  Students learn to 
anticipate how management accounting information affects employees' incentives and 
behavior, and how to decide when and where a particular management accounting tool 
is likely to be useful.
