First sentence: Activity-based costing (ABC) and activity-based management (ABM) have received accolades in the 1990s and will continue to grow rapidly in utility and application into the 21st century.
Description: "Arthur Andersen's Global Lessons in Activity-Based Management uses a wealth of case studies from around the world to illustrate how ABM is a global tool that works. Drawn from the experiences of fourteen different organizations in seven different countries, these studies illustrate how companies understand the work performed in their organizations and how this understanding can make any company more profitable.

Each case study describes the conversion strategy selected by the implementation team, recounts the successes and challenges of the strategy, and explains how problems were avoided or overcome."--BOOK JACKET.
