Case Study
In-text citation and references (or sources) using the Harvard referencing style are required for this section
This section is based on the case study, “Two Short Cases: OilCO & ExploreCO” on page 114 of your textbook.
As an external consultant, you have been hired by GlobalOIL to evaluate the effectiveness of the processes both companies undertook in implementing their ERP systems and present your evaluation in report format to the CEO Joe Warners-Brown.
You have been asked to use the format given in the file “AnalysingCaseStudy.docx”.
Using the knowledge covered in Module 1-4 and supplemented by at least 4 academically sound external sources:
1. Your report should address and discuss the following:
a. Compare the two organisations in terms of their business operations and activities.
b. Document the reasons the case study listed as objectives for adopting the ERP system.
c. Describe the process and compare how much each company had to change to adopt the ERP system. In your description discuss what would have been some of the drivers for modifying the existing business processes in the two organisations.
d. Comparing Table 4.6 and 4.7 using your understanding from Module 1-4 and Appendix A, explain what the critical success factor and which position (Appendix A page 118) was critical to the success of the implementation.
e. In your conclusion discuss the aspects of the implementation that could have been better implemented or handled to minimise the reported issues.
2. Your report should be succinct and clear to the point addressing the above points precisely.
NOTE: You should restrict your report only to topics covered in Chapters 1- 4 and not extend it to cover the full implementation process. The textbook questions should not be used to structure the report but may help you consider the questions asked here.
