Integrating Excel, SQL, and SPSS Within an Introductory Finance Intrinsic Value Assignment
Journal of Finance and Accountancy Volume 20, September, 2015 Integrating Excel, SQL, and SPSS within an Introductory Finance Intrinsic Value Assignment Richard Walstra Dominican University Anne Drougas Dominican University Steve Harrington Dominican University ABSTRACT In 2013, the Association to Advance Collegiate Schools of Business (AACSB) issued revised accreditation standards to address a “new era” of business education. The standards recognize that students will be entering a data-driven world and need skills in information technology to analyze and manage data. Employer surveys also emphasize the importance of technological skills and knowledge in a rapidly changing environment. To address these challenges, business faculty in all disciplines must adapt course content to incorporate software tools and statistical applications and integrate active learning tools that provide students with hands-on experience. This paper describes a technology-based, business valuation assignment instructors can employ within an undergraduate managerial finance course. The assignment draws upon historical financial data from the restaurant industry as students predict the intrinsic value of a firm through the application of various software products. Students receive data in an Access database and create SQL queries to determine free cash flows before transferring information into Excel for further analysis. Students continue by uploading key data elements into SPSS and performing statistical analysis on three growth models in order to identify a desired predictor of intrinsic value. The assignment develops students’ abilities to navigate software tools, understand statistical concepts, and apply quantitative decision making. Key Words: Business valuation, growth rates, software tools Copyright statement: Authors retain the copyright to the manuscripts published in AABRI journals. -

A FORTRAN 77 Program for a Nonparametric Item Response Model: the Mokken Scale Analysis
BehaviorResearch Methods, Instruments, & Computers 1988, 20 (5), 471-480 A FORTRAN 77 program for a nonparametric item response model: The Mokken scale analysis JOHANNES KINGMA University of Utah, Salt Lake City, Utah and TERRY TAERUM University ofAlberta, Edmonton, Alberta, Canada A nonparametric item response theory model-the Mokken scale analysis (a stochastic elabo ration of the deterministic Guttman scale}-and a computer program that performs this analysis are described. Three procedures of scaling are distinguished: a search procedure, an evaluation of the whole set of items, and an extension of an existing scale. All procedures provide a coeffi cient of scalability for all items that meet the criteria of the Mokken model and an item coeffi cient of scalability for every item. Four different types of reliability coefficient are computed both for the entire set of items and for the scalable items. A test of robustness of the found scale can be performed to analyze whether the scale is invariant across different subgroups or samples. This robustness test serves as a goodness offit test for the established scale. The program is writ ten in FORTRAN 77. Two versions are available, an SPSS-X procedure program (which can be used with the SPSS-X mainframe package) and a stand-alone program suitable for both main frame and microcomputers. The Mokken scale model is a stochastic elaboration of which both mainframe and MS-DOS versions are avail the well-known deterministic Guttman scale (Mokken, able. These programs, both named Mokscal, perform the 1971; Mokken & Lewis, 1982; Mokken, Lewis, & Mokken scale analysis. Before presenting a review of the Sytsma, 1986). -

IBM SPSS Orientation: Version 23
IBM SPSS Orientation: Version 23 Installation & Introduction to Operations [6 and 12-Month Licence version] This document provides an introduction to IBM SPSS, explaining how to install and run the program, as well as a basic overview of its features. Your Real Estate Division course workbook will provide software instructions for running necessary statistical procedures. However, you are expected to have installed the software and have a working knowledge of how to operate the software program and interpret its results. In general, IBM SPSS is very easy to learn and use. The user interface is similar to that of Microsoft Word and Microsoft Excel and its output is easily transferred to these programs. There is comprehensive help available within the program as well as customer support. Note that the Real Estate Division’s courses do not cover all of the capabilities of the IBM SPSS program. For a complete explanation of statistical procedures not covered in the lessons, you should refer to the IBM SPSS Help menu found in the program. (Note: from this point on SPSS means IBM SPSS) Computer Requirements It is essential that students have at least a very basic knowledge of how a computer operates. If you are unfamiliar with the operation of personal computers, you may wish to visit your local bookstore for a “how to” manual or investigate schools, colleges, or libraries in your area which may offer a course designed for computer beginners. SPSS operates with a Windows or Mac operating system. To use SPSS, you will need to have basic computer skills in order to do the following: • download a program from a website; • start an application; • use a mouse; • use menus and submenus; • use click, select, and drop and drag actions; and • save files to a hard disk drive and open them again. -

Preface Experienced data analysts know that a successful analysis or meaningful report often requires more work in acquiring, merging, and transforming data than in specifying the analysis or report itself. IBM® SPSS® Statistics contains powerful tools for accomplishing and automating these tasks. While much of this capability is available through the graphical user interface, many of the most powerful features are available only through command syntax—and you can make the programming features of its command syntax significantly more powerful by adding the ability to combine it with a full-featured programming language. This book offers many examples of the kinds of things that you can accomplish using command syntax by itself and in combination with other programming language. For SAS Users If you have more experience with SAS for data management, see Chapter 32 for comparisons of the different approaches to handling various types of data management tasks. -
