Abstract

A group of relatively simple application programs were used to help teach basic business management concepts and practices via the microcomputer. The seven topics covered were: Basic Financial Record-keeping Practices; Cost Allocation Techniques; Economic Order Quantity; Costvolume- profit Analysis; Compound Interest Concepts; Financial Statement Ratio Analysis; and Queuing Concepts. This paper describes the programs that were used, explains how they were incorporated into the course, identifies some of the specific educational benefits of each, and summarizes the advantages of using multiple, stand-alone application programs in the classroom.
