The authors believe Activity-Based Costing/Management (ABC/M) is needed and powerful. Many years of professional and academic work have taught the author a few things, including the notion that managerial decisions and controls must be firmly assisted by knowledge tools. When he was first introduced to ABC - in its early stages, by the end of the eighties - it somehow disturbed him. The author was unhappy with the inherited wisdom of cost management: the existing full suite of measurement, analysis, decision and control concepts and tools. After more than a decade of existence, ABC/M strives to receive wide acceptance and respect in Latin America (Brazil) as a mature managerial technology.
