What’s New in the 12th Edition?
New and Enhanced Themes
In the 12th edition of Hilton & Platt Managerial
Accounting, the authors have significantly
increased their coverage of data analytics and socalled
big data in the context of managerial
accounting. The topic is first introduced in Chapter 1,
where it is discussed in the context of the Whole
Foods Market contrast company. It then gets
deeper coverage in Chapter 6, which includes an
illustration of data visualization using both Excel
and Tableau. And discussions of big data and its
impact in managerial decision making are sprinkled
throughout the book, such as the new
Management Accounting Practice (MAP) inset
“Big Data ‘Use Cases’ in Managing Costs and
Profits” in Chapter 3, other new MAPs in Chapters
5, 9, and 10, and in general discussion.
Hilton & Platt Managerial
Accounting has long been a
leader in integrating discussion
of business ethics into
the managerial accounting context through the
use of the Institute of Management Accountants’
Statement of Ethical Professional Practice and the
Focus on Ethics feature that appears at the end of
most chapters. In the 12th edition, the authors take
a major step forward in business ethics coverage
by updating a number of the Focus on Ethics
scenarios and linking all of them to the thoughtful
and entertaining ethics concepts videos produced
by the business educators at Ethics Unwrapped.
Indicated by the logo that appears at the front of
this paragraph, the videos offer instructors the
opportunity to expand the discussion of ethical
concepts in business while providing students
some conceptual underpinnings for the ethical
dilemmas presented and their solutions.
