<p>Does anyone know of any interesting business/accounting advice books for young accounting majors? I have looked for some but couldn't find any.
Not text book, btw</p>
<p>The Accounting Game : Basic Accounting Fresh from the Lemonade Stand</p>
<p>It’s not strictly a business/accounting book, but The World is Flat by Thomas Friedman has lots of business/accounting related material, particularly about JIT concepts taught in managerial accounting. Although it’s an old book, The Goal by Eliyahu Goldratt is a great business book on theory of constraints written as a novel. I first heard of this book in a keynote presentation by a Harvard faculty member. I assign it for my quality management systems students, but have a colleague at our local regional university who assigns it in his cost accounting class and I also know it is required reading at our state school in one of the core business classes. Every year I have students tell me they were dreading reading a supplemental book, but that they were surprised how much they enjoyed it. I have had several tell me that at the end they stayed up into the night to find out how the story turns out. Not a hard read, but relevant to our globalized world even though it was written in the '80s.</p>
