Accounting Analytics
Accounting Analytics explores how financial statement data and non-financial metrics can be linked to financial performance. In this course, taught by Wharton’s acclaimed accounting professors, you’ll learn how data is used to assess what drives financial performance and to forecast future financial scenarios. While many accounting and financial organizations deliver data, accounting analytics deploys that data to deliver insight, and this course will explore the many areas in which accounting data provides insight into other business areas including consumer behavior predictions, corporate strategy, risk management, optimization, and more. By the end of this course, you’ll understand how financial data and non-financial data interact to forecast events, optimize operations, and determine strategy. This course has been designed to help you make better business decisions about the emerging roles of accounting analytics, so that you can apply what you’ve learned to make your own business decisions and create strategy using financial data.

Management Complete Guide - Succeed in Leadership Roles
Investing time in your management skills will pay dividends for you and your team (and your boss!), yet most people never study management in any scientific way. Excellent management is actually easy to learn, but trying to pick it up by copying good or bad leaders is surprisingly difficult. Improvising as you go rarely leads to consistently effective results. As a leader, there’s a lot on your plate. You’re expected to lead a team, make tough decisions, delegate work (without micromanaging!), and somehow keep everyone happy and productive. On top of that, you need to delegate properly, avoid burnout, and make your boss think you’ve got everything under control. The good news? This course is here to help. You’ll learn the difference between management and leadership, how to delegate effectively, what your leadership options are, how to motivate different types of people, and when to empower others without slipping into abdication. I designed this course specifically for people just like you—those thrown into the deep end of leadership who want practical advice that works right now. Whether you’re managing a small team or leading in a large organization, I’ll give you the tools and strategies you need to succeed. You’ll love this course because it isn’t a boring list of “dos and don’ts.” It’s packed with real-world, practical advice that’s been tested by thousands of managers I’ve worked with. I’m Chris Croft, and with over 20 years of experience, I specialize in making leadership simple, practical, and even a bit fun.

Emerging Markets - Jagdish Sheth
The rise of emerging economies is bringing significant changes in the marketing practice. The traditional notion of extending products and services designed for advanced economies is no longer as successful in emerging markets. This is primarily because of affordability and accessibility. Moreover, most consumption in emerging markets is unbranded products and services, and unorganized competition. This course identifies five dimensions where emerging markets are different. The traditional approach of think global, act local (glocal) is replaced by a new perspective of think local, act global, especially in large emerging markets such as China and India.

Automize Monthly Report Creation with Power Automate
Imagine you're working in a large company and part of your job is to send reports to other departments about employee absence from work in the past month. Basically, it is a repetitive and boring manual task that repeats every month and takes a lot of your time. However, you can easily automate it with SharePoint and Power Automate! In this beginner-level guided project "Automize Monthly Report Creation with Power Automate", we will create a SharePoint Site and a SharePoint list with data about employees' annual leave days, sick leave days or days off. All the data will be kept in one place. That data will help us to create the Monthly Employee Absence Report. The Power Automate flow will export data from the SharePoint list and save it in an Excel spreadsheet. Then we will send the table (the report) in an email as an Excel table. The requirement for this project is having a Microsoft Developer Program account, and you will be provided with instructions on how to get it right here. If you are ready to make your and your colleagues’ lives easier by starting to automate manual, time-consuming processes which are hard to track, then this project is for you! Let's get started!
