Overview
Cost Management can be defined as the information set that managers need in decision making to ensure that the firm is successful. It includes both financial information about costs and revenues but also relevant non-financial information about quality, customer satisfaction and other critical success factors. Cost Management recognises that costs do not just happen they are caused. Topics covered include the strategic role of Cost Management systems, cost accumulation systems, Cost Management techniques such as activity based costing, customer profitability analysis, cost of quality reporting, target costing, life-cycle costing and bench-marking. The course also includes research findings on Cost-Management systems.
Course Disclaimer
Courses and course hours of instruction are subject to change.
Credits earned vary according to the policies of the students' home institutions. According to ISA policy and possible visa requirements, students must maintain full-time enrollment status, as determined by their home institutions, for the duration of the program.
ECTS (European Credit Transfer and Accumulation System) credits are converted to semester credits/quarter units differently among U.S. universities. Students should confirm the conversion scale used at their home university when determining credit transfer.
Please reference fall and spring course lists as not all courses are taught during both semesters.
Please note that some courses with locals have recommended prerequisite courses. It is the student's responsibility to consult any recommended prerequisites prior to enrolling in their course.
