Thought Leadership on Performance Measurement and Management
The Harvard Business School has been at the forefront of the efforts to modernize the costing systems in use since the past 30 years. Although the articles maybe old – the widespread prevalence of traditional volume based cost system designs and “Gross Margin” reporting and gross margins-based pricing indicates these articles remain as relevant today as they were when first published.
The Institute of Management Accountants (IMA Inc) also carries several thought leadership articles, research papers and studies which are at the very forefront of management accounting topics such as Costing systems design, Risk Management, Budgeting and Forecasting, Leveraging analytics for generating insight etc…
The website of Gary Cokins is a veritable treasure trove of articles, videos, books and other materials needed to get started, stay focussed and successfully complete your EPM journey.
