1. Choose a recent and good real-life article/study on Standard Costing and Target Costing.
2. Thenrefer to the reference list of the articleto view other real-life organisation studies on Standard Costing or Target Costing, that have been cited in that article.
3. Email your Lecturer the full reference of the articles you choose to check and approve.
4. You can choose 2 articles on each topic and your Lecturer can check if one is available.
