Prof. Maxime Cohen (McGill University), Prof. Daniel Guetta (Columbia Business School), and Matthieu Reed (McGill University) recently wrote a case entitled "Modern Retail Analytics: Data Visualization Using Tableau." The case includes three detailed tutorials that can be used by instructors in the classroom to introduce students to Tableau in the context of retail strategy and operations (using the Global Superstore dataset that is made available with Tableau). We also wrote a homework assignment with detailed solutions. All the material can be found here.
We're making this case available free of charge to all instructors. Speaking for ourselves, we know that when we initially downloaded the dataset, we felt it would provide a tremendous teaching opportunity, but we felt it didn't come with any "polished" resources we could easily distribute to students for use in a classroom. We hope this case will fill that gap.
We hope you find it useful.
Maxime, Daniel, and Matthieu
