In this course, one major requirement is to write a research paper on the topic of ERP implementation. For the research paper, you will select an organization that has a successful ERP system (not necessarily SAP) and an organization that has an unsuccessful ERP implementation. If you search for “ERP implementation case studies” you will find a number of resources online.
As you complete your evaluation, ensure to include discussion on the ERP modules the organizations have implemented, drivers and barriers to implementation, and any other information that is pertinent to ERP implementation.
In addition to that, review at least five peer-reviewed journal articles to add general discussion on ERP implementation in the paper. Dedicate about half of the paper to companies’ specific ERP implementation and another half to a general discussion on ERP implementation.
Requirements for Your Research Paper
- The paper should be a minimum of 10 pages (excluding the cover page and reference list).
- Follow the current APA Format
- Use Times New Roman font, 12-point.
- Double-space everything in the paper.
- Include a title and a reference page with at least ten references (minimum five peer-reviewed).
- Use figures, tables, or graphs in your write-up. (Should not account for more than 10% of minimum page requirement)
