Developing an EXCEL/Analytics "Spine" in the BBA Curriculum

The programming committee for the 77th Annual SAM International Business Conference is pleased to announce the acceptance of the presentation Developing an EXCEL/Analytics “Spine” in the BBA Curriculum by Reza Kheirandish from Clayton State University.

Presentation Abstract: The author of this paper is a faculty at a business school in a metropolitan area and he was asked by the dean of the college of business to form a committee to create a set of deliverable tasks/activities within the current business curriculum, where students are exposed to the Excel based exploration, problem solving, and analytics so that by the time they are graduating they are proficient in Excel. The committee proposed that when possible and in all courses that are applicable, throughout the BBA curriculum, we develop Excel based learning, problem solving, data analysis, and data visualization to achieve proficiency in Excel by the time our students graduate. This article reviews those proposed activities suggested for the specific courses within the BBA program.
