Such a cost management system is only attainable if the importance of key business, operational and stakeholder requirements are recognised within the organisational context. In illustrating this importance, this book provides several case studies as examples thereof. The first two case studies focus on the engineering sector and illustrates the development of a cost management system in a water recycling context; and the design of a budgetary system in a mining engineering context. The remaining case studies focus on the services sector, including cost management systems for a digital technology services provider and a medical insurance services provider; an alternative activity-based costing approach for a public sector services provider; and finally a re-designed value stream for an automotive services provider. Academic researchers and industry managers in the fields of management accounting and financial management, as well as engineering and operations management, will find value in the experiences described herein. 001438326 588__ $$aDescription based on print version record. 001438326 650_0 $$aCost control$$xData processing. 001438326 650_0 $$aCost control$$xManagement. 001438326 650_0 $$aDecision making. 001438326 650_6 $$aCoût$$xContrôle$$xInformatique. 001438326 650_6 $$aCoût$$xContrôle$$xGestion. 001438326 650_6 $$aPrise de décision. 001438326 655_0 $$aElectronic books. 001438326 7001_ $$aBuys, Pieter. 001438326 77608 $$iPrint version:$$tDesigning cost management systems to support business decision-making.$$dSingapore : Palgrave Macmillan, 2021$$z9811617503$$z9789811617508$$w(OCoLC)1241245624 001438326 77608 $$iPrint version:$$tDesigning cost management systems to support business decision-making$$z9789811617508$$w(OCoLC)1255863898 001438326 852__ $$bebk 001438326 85640 $$3Springer Nature$$uhttps://univsouthin.idm.oclc.org/login?url=https://link.springer.com/10.1007/978-981-16-1751-5$$zOnline Access$$91397441.1 001438326 909CO $$ooai:library.usi.edu:1438326$$pGLOBAL_SET 001438326 980__ $$aBIB 001438326 980__ $$aEBOOK 001438326 982__ $$aEbook 001438326 983__ $$aOnline 001438326 994__ $$a92$$bISE
