"For centuries, the lighthouse has provided guidance and safe passage for sailors. Similarly, Garrison/Noreen/Brewer has successfully guided millions of students through managerial accounting, lighting the way and helping them sail smoothly through the course. Decades ago, lighthouses were still being operated manually. In these days of digital transformation, lighthouses are run using automatic lamp changers and other modern devices. In much the same way, Garrison/ Noreen/Brewer has evolved over the years. Today, this edition of the Garrison book affirms its tradition of guiding students-accounting majors and other business majors alike-safely through the course while also embracing innovation through the incorporation of Data Analytics Exercises. These exercises teach students how to use the power of Excel to derive managerial insights and then communicate those findings in visually compelling ways. They also provide students with the opportunity to interpret and create data visualizations within Tableau and Power BI two of the most popular data visualization software packages used in business today. These innovative features build on a tradition of inventive, powerful tools created to augment student learning and increase student motivation"-- Provided by publisher.
