For this component you will be required to analyze a case study of an organization and write a report on it on a recent academic paper on a topic related to ERP implementation on any organization. Some possible topic areas include but are not limited to:

• Digital Transformation
• An analysis of success and failure factors for ERP Systems in Engineering and Construction Firms.

The paper you select must be directly relevant to one of the above topics or another topic and be related to ERP or Software Engineering. The paper must be approved by your lecturer and be related to what we are studying this semester in Enterprise Resource Planning. The paper can be from any academic conference or other relevant Journal or online sources such as Google Scholar, Academic department repositories, or a significant commercial company involved in research such as IBM etc. All students must select a different paper. Thus, the paper must be approved by your lecturer before proceeding. In case two students are wanting to present on the same paper, the first who emails the lecturer with their choice will be allocated that paper. Please note that popular magazine or web-site articles are not academic papers.

For this component you will write a report or critique on the paper you chose from the topic above listed.

You should perform a literature survey on the topic to identify the benefits and challenges associated with ERP implementation. Based on your literature survey, you need to create and submit (1) an abstract (2 pages) in IEEE format .

Your report should be limited to approx. 2000 words (not including references). Use 1.5 spacing with a 12 point Times New Roman font. Though your paper will largely be based on the chosen article, you should use other sources to support your discussion or the chosen papers premises. Citation of sources is mandatory and must be in the IEEE style.

Your report or critique must include:

Title Page: The title of the assessment, the name of the paper you are reporting on and its authors, and your name and student ID.

Introduction: Identification of the paper you are critiquing/ reviewing, a statement of the purpose for your report and a brief outline of how you will discuss the selected article (one or two paragraphs).

Body of Report: Describe the intention and content of the article. If it is a research report, discuss the research method (survey, case study, observation, experiment, or other method) and findings. Comment on problems or issues highlighted by the authors. Report on results discussed and discuss the conclusions of the article and how they are relevant to the topics of this Unit of Study.

Conclusion: A summary of the points you have made in the body of the paper. The conclusion should not introduce any ‘new' material that was not discussed in the body of the paper. (One or two paragraphs)

References: A list of sources used in your text. They should be listed alphabetically by (first) author's family name. Follow the IEEE style.
