Johnson argues that top-down, management-accounting oriented organizations are no longer equipped to be competitive in modern business. Management teams with access to information about global competition, responsive to customers and quick to deliver should form the main impetus of the modern business. Johnson shows how radical overhauls based on such principles at companies such as Genral Electric, Eastman Kodak and Harley Davidson have achieved positive results.

"Relevance Lost" is an overview of the evolution of management accounting in American business, from textile mills in the 1880s and the giant railroad, steel, and retail corporations, to today's environment of global competition and computer-automated manufacturers. The book shows that modern corporations must work toward designing new management accounting systems that will assist managers more fully in their long-term planning. It is the winner of the American Accounting Association's Deloitte Haskins & Sells/Wildman Award Medal. It is also available in paperback: ISBN 0875842542.
