Contributions of Alexander Hamilton Church to Accounting and Management

This book, first published in 1986, includes primarily articles written by Church not reprinted in his books. The collection demonstrates the breadth of his work and demonstrate why he was such a renowned expert in the fields of cost accounting and management. He introduced the ‘machine-hour rate’ method, the production-centre concept, the ‘regulative principles of management’ and distribution cost-analysis. His writings spanned the fields of accounting, business, management and industrial engineering, and this book captures the essence of his work and central themes.
