Description

Operations Management & Strategic Management – CRACKER is a high-precision, exam-analytics–driven preparation manual for CMA Intermediate – Group II | Paper 9, designed to translate syllabus knowledge into marks-oriented performance. Rather than presenting theory in isolation, this book systematically dissects past CMA examinations under the New Syllabus, identifies repetitive testing patterns, and presents fully solved exam questions in a structure aligned with ICMAI’s evaluation approach. This Edition reflects a mature editorial evolution of the CRACKER series, integrating module-wise marks analytics (2023–2025), year-wise trend analysis, and precise cross-mapping with CMA Study Material modules, thereby enabling students to prioritise topics that genuinely drive scoring outcomes in the examination hall.
