Integration Of SAP Technology In Finance Classrooms: Perceptions From Students And Implications For Educators

Abstract

To better prepare students for this highly competitive technology-rich business world, it is vital that business educators take responsibility for the development of students’ information technology skills in conjunction with the conventional discipline-specific knowledge and lifelong learning skills. This study focuses on the use of one technology tool, the SAP R/3 system, in finance classrooms. The main purpose of this research is to investigate whether implementing SAP technology in the classroom enhances the student’s educational experience. Students’ reactions to the use of this business technology in the classroom and their implications for business educators are addressed. The findings of this study should be useful to business educators who use, or intend to use, this educational tool in their classes.
