Accountant to Academic - An Unmapped Journey


Book Description

Raman’s memoir chronicles the dramatic change in his profession as an accountant to launching him on the unchartered waters of management of research and development projects in Council of Scientific and Industrial Research and suggesting a fair and just appreciation of public passenger road transport system operated by State Road Transport Undertakings. His role as a trainer in these two diverse fields – scientific research, employing knowledge workers, and passenger road transport, employing blue-collar workers and a few managers – was daunting, which he meets with a suitably tailored approach in the design and delivery of training programmes. His research studies on Indian road transport operating under administrated fares and social costs and his seminal study of the US highways financing system should interest readers in the area of public policy reforms. His academic career spread over the whole gamut of teaching, research, consulting, guiding research students, administration of business schools and experience earlier in government and the public sector and brief but educative exposure to the Indian Parliamentary System vouch for his versatility. Raman's memoir should excite peers and students alike and serve as a model for future writers. Narrated with candour and humour, Raman’s description of his early life in Delhi amidst government servants and his own failed attempt to become a bureaucrat, his pen picture of the Delhi’s Madrasas, his family's musical legacy and religiosity and his values of accountability and integrity, ungrudgingly shared in this memoir, reveal his credentials as an engaging writer.

Managerial Accounting


Book Description

Most managerial accounting texts emphasize the mechanics of managerial accounting. While important, mechanics are not enough. To solve business problems, students need to understand how managerial accounting can improve decision-making, and when and where a particular tool or technique is appropriate. Balakrishnan’s Managerial Accounting 1st edition presents accounting information in the context of business decision making. It combines the traditional topics of managerial accounting with a strategic framework that shows students how to construct decision models and measure information. By linking business decisions with accounting information students will be motivated to learn and make more informed decisions. Balakrishnan will appeal to courses where there is a true focus on decision making and accounting is placed within a business context.
