Hallmark features of this title

Decision making with large data sets

  • The text provides comprehensive data from an actual company, and asks students to analyze and make a series of business decisions. The project takes 4 to 5 weeks to complete.
  • First, students load the merger data set, then analyze it by answering 10 to 15 questions.
  • Next, students write a report that visualizes their findings and a process memo explaining how they found the solution.

New and updated features of this title

Incorporate data analytics into your course

  • An Instructor's Resource Manual lets you easily merge cases into your course. You're also given instruction on how to assign, implement and grade the project.
  • Meet the new AACSB standards by integrating data analytics into your accounting class.

Real-world problem-solving

  • Students must figure out how to combine several CSV files from 2 merging companies (LargeMart and BullsEye) into 1 Microsoft Access database that they can then query.
  • Students get practice with ETL (Extraction, Translation, Load). This project exposes students to the importance of data integrity in the ETL process.
  • They are given (a total of 8) quarterly payroll register files with employee data, both hourly and salaried, for a year. Using this data, which consists of 1.7 million payroll files to query (including 10 different datasets), students can hone their analytical skills.
