- Activity Based Costing (ABC) is a procedure used to assign overhead cost to products or services that are produced. (I actually just answered this elsewhere, if you want more detail see: How_does_Activity-Based_Costing_work).
- Activity Based Management (ABM) is the use of ABC to improve business operations. That is with an ABC system, management uses the information and data obtained from the system to make decisions or changes that will help the business to be profitable. Such a way is to eliminate any non value added costs which could be done by conducting activity analysis (root causes of problems, cost triggering activities, etc) and activity evaluations (reviewing performance measurements). Another illustration of ABM is creation of customer profitability analysis, which uses ABC to determine the activities, cost and profits that come with serving a particular customer. Following this, managers will have a better idea of which customers they should continue to work with and which they may want to consider dropping or have to find a way to reduce the cost of serving.
Thus, in summary, ABC and ABM are not synonyms, but are two interrelated processes.

What is the difference between Activity costing and activity based management?
I think product based management is when you break down a project into all the different products you need. For example, in the case of a UK drug dealing operation the manager will need to make sure he has all of the products he needs to complete the project. This will not include just high quality drugs but also scales, baggies and contacts. In function based management the supplier would tell teams of dealers what drugs need to be where. Instead of a breakdown of every product they need, there is an outcome that must be achieved by teams, with a deadline.

Who develop activity based costing?
Activity-based management and activity-based costing (ABM/ABC) have brought about radical change in cost management systems. ABM has grown largely out of the work of the Texas-based Consortium for Advanced Manufacturing-International (CAM-I). No longer is ABM's applicability limited to manufacturing organisations. The principles and philosophies of activity-based thinking apply equally to service companies, government agencies and process industries. The acronym itself has evolved from ABC to ABCM (activity-based cost management) to ABM, and the application of ABC evolved from a manufacturing product costing orientation to a management philosophy of activity management applied in industries and organisations other than manufacturing.
Is direct costing the same as variable costing?
