ABSTRACT:

The Belgian Chocolate Company (BCC) case was designed to be used in an accounting information systems (AIS) class with strong emphasis on the Resource-Event-Agent (REA) model, data modeling, and database design. Students are asked to design, implement, and use an accounting database. A unique feature of the case is its delivery through the Internet by means of a dynamic web site. Instructors are able to adapt the content of the case to their specific needs and to create individualized assignments for students.

Key Words: Data modeling, Database design, Dynamic web site, Internet, REA.
