Abstract:

Colleges and employers have long recognized the importance of requiring business majors to take liberal arts courses to strengthen their decision making ability. However, many employers find this ability lacking in recent graduates, which may be a result of educators not clearly linking liberal arts courses to business courses. In this paper, we propose a method to incorporate the study of economics, a social science, into the accounting curriculum to facilitate stronger decision making in business.
