Resources for Analytics/DSS-BI books by Sharda/Delen/Turban

Welcome to the author blog site for the textbooks on Analytics, Decision Support Systems, and Business Intelligence. This site serves as complement to the site maintained by Pearson Higher Education: http://www.pearsonhighered.com/sharda/.  Here we will provide links to software guides as well as additional content. We also urge instructors using our book to check out Teradata University Network (TUN). TUN includes extensive resources for teaching these topics. These resources include case studies, white papers, webinars, homework assignments (and their solutions), etc.  Software experiences in analytics topics are possible through TUN resources. For example, you can have your students experience Microstrategy software through TUN. A recent addition is SAS Visual Analytics. Additional resources are added to TUN frequently.

We welcome your suggestions for additional resources to be included on this site.

Thank you for using our textbook.
