Enterprise resource planning system in organisation

Reference no: EM133581760

Task description:

This is an individual assessment for both on-campus and off-campus students. Each student is to develop a PowerPoint presentation for senior managers who are interested in knowing more about ERP system. You are free to make assumptions on the industry and context of the organisation.

Along with the PowerPoint presentation slides, students are to include their scripts as part of their PowerPoint submission, that is, what would be said if they were giving the presentation in front of an audience. The scripts should show clearly what would be said or discussed as each slide is presented. The script should be included in the 'Notes' section of each slide. There is no face-to-face classroom presentation. The assessment is based on the submitted PowerPoint slides and scripts.

The presentation should cover the following topics in the Main Body of presentation:

A. Roles of Information Systems in general, with discussion on supporting information requirements for different groups of users in organisation

B. Special role of Enterprise Resource Planning System in organisation

C. Possible organisational goals for implementing an ERP system, with examples from industry

D. Benefits and limitations of implementing an ERP system, with discussion on implications for management

Subject to your interests and relevant experience, you can choose to develop further on any areas of Enterprise Systems on a further section, in addition to those four topics above.

E. Other topics related to ERP System, such as ERP implementation project, applications in organisation, future trends

You should study the concepts and framework covered in weeks one and two learning materials as a start. You are expected to research on quality academic and industry sources, to add significant body of updated materials, to present different perspectives or depth to the information already covered in the unit materials. Learn to apply theories into real life practice, with high quality references as support.

Use your own words to prepare the text on slides and scripts in notes as much as possible. If materials were copied from a source on a word-to-word basis it must be cited as direct quotation (which should be kept to a minimum, such as definition). All ideas from sources must be acknowledged by in-text reference in the text, with details listed in the Reference List. Use the Harvard (author-date) referencing style. Refer to the latest CQU Harvard Referencing Guide for guidelines and examples.

You should do the assignment yourself, so that you can learn through this experience. The use of any services to do your work is a breach of academic integrity. If you are found to have plagiarised or breach of academic integrity, you will be penalised which could result in zero marks. In some circumstances of violations of academic integrity, a more severe penalty may be imposed as per the University's policy.

Presentation Development Guidelines:

The main slides in the presentation (A-E above) should be between 5 - 10 slides. The limit does not include the Title slide, Presentation outline slide, Introduction slide, Conclusion slide, Discussion slide and Reference List slide(s). There is no word limit. Make sensible decision in determining the length of text on each slide. All slides must acknowledge the source(s) of the content.

Students should prepare the scripts as part of the PowerPoint presentation, that is, what would be said if you were giving the presentation in front of an audience. These scripts should be included in the ‘Notes' section of each slide. There is no word limit. Make sensible decision in determining the length.

Include a section for Discussion to facilitate discussion and engagement with the audience. In the ‘Notes' section of that slide, include at least two questions that you may use to facilitate the discussion and appropriate responses.
