Operations Management & Strategic Management ? CRACKER is a practice-first question bank and revision companion written specifically for Paper 9 of CMA Intermediate (Group II). Part of Taxmann's popular CRACKER series, it reorganises the entire syllabus into the format that actually earns marks in the examination hall?a quick recap of every chapter's concepts, followed by a deep, chapter-wise bank of past examination questions answered in the institute's expected style. What sets the book apart is the breadth and discipline of its coverage of questions. Every module?and each chapter within it?opens with 'A Quick Review', a tight summary of the core concepts (with definitions, models and diagrams) for fast recall, and then moves straight into Past Examination Questions, split into objective questions (MCQs, fill-in-the-blanks, true/false, and match-the-following) and descriptive/short-note questions. Each question is tagged with its exam session and mark allocation, drawing on attempts dating back to June 2008 and running right up to the June 2026 examination, so a student practises exactly as the paper is set. Fully aligned to the ICMAI Syllabus 2022 (New Syllabus) and current for the December 2026 and June 2027 attempts, the CRACKER works equally well for first-pass, chapter-by-chapter learning and for high-intensity revision in the final weeks before the exam. With more than 600 solved questions, sectional additional-practice sets, exam-trend analytics up front, and four full module-wise solved papers at the back, it is a genuinely self-contained resource for clearing the paper.
