Categories adjusted for new textbook
0I have adjusted the categories to reflect our adoption of a new textbook for fall semester. Instead of “HDFRI” you will now notice “Blocher” chapters in the category list. This is because we will be using Cost Management: A Strategic Emphasis, 5th Edition by Blocher, Edward; Stout, David; Cokins, Gary this semester. As best I could I mapped the old chapters to the new chapters but there could be some older posts that don’t quite fit in where the new textbook has the related material. Newer posts should match up better and better as I get used to the format of the new book. As always, the “tags” list or search function may be better tools to use if you are looking for materials on a specific topic.
