Assignment #2:
Data and Information
Peter Drucker, the well-known organizational
management theorist (who is sometimes referred to as the “father of
systems management”) wrote that “Data endowed with relevance is
information”. We will begin Assignment
#2: Data and Information by examining a small but powerful
database constructed by the American School Board Journal. In
their annual report about the nation’s schools, reported in
the Their ‘Education Vital Signs”, you will begin your database work
by examining these data from a national, regional, and local
perspective and drawing some conclusions concerning our schools.
Using Microsoft’s Excel as the analytic software tool, you
will learn about some useful tools for performing data analysis that
will be of use throughout the course.
