THE growing importance of electronic data processing in the business world has made it necessary for accounting educators to consider means of incorporating instruction in the uses of computers and computer systems in the accounting curriculum. This paper discusses the classroom implementation of a computer application designed to use the computer to solve problems in managerial accounting courses. The application was used as classroom project at the University of Wisconsin throughout one semester of management accounting course designed for MBA candidates who had only principles course as background. It involved a computer accessible databank of accounting and operating data concerning eight years of operations of a fictional manufacturing company. The contents of the databank were derived from the output of a management game modified for use in this project.
