Using Netsuite in Business Curriculum

Abstract

Companies continue to increase their use of cloud-based software to process transactions and grow their business. Preparing business students to enter the workforce with experience in these programs seems essential, but how do we add this skill to our curriculum? This study evaluates the process and outcomes of using a cloud based software, NetSuite, in a cased based pedagogy environment for accounting information systems students. Students were evaluated on their outcomes and surveys regarding their experiences. Overall, the study found that students were more engaged in the process, had a positive learning experience and obtained skills that employers seek.
