Prospering under PPS. A guide for financial managers.
The survivors of PPS will be those organizations that gain knowledge and control of their true costs, learning how to manage them within the constraints imposed by the new payment system.

Together they provide a framework sufficient to begin the process of analyzing how to prepare for PPS.
