Research Report Assignment:

“ERP Systems; A People Project” An ERP systems project is often referred to as a “People Project”. The majority of costs and issues associated with an ERP implementation are people related. These people issues can vary from gathering business requirements, availability of skilled resources, project management, acceptance and adherence to the new system, to upper management support. Understanding the implications of these issues and how they can be properly managed can have a positive impact on the success of the implementation. Discuss the statement above and the people issues using case study examples (from literature searches) to demonstrate different company’s experiences. Your task is to produce a 3000 - 4000 word research paper which discusses the issues relating to the above. The paper should demonstrate a depth and breadth of reading and should be appropriately referenced. The paper should be referenced using the Harvard referencing standards and formatted according to the approved style guide. You must submit two documents, your assessment declaration and your report to Turnitin. Assessment Declaration: Use the assessment declaration (coversheet) provided on VU Collaborate. Complete all sections including the Title, Assignment number, Student Name and Number and Unit. This document must be uploaded separately to your report to ensure your Turnitin similarity results are not compromised.
