Assignment:
1. What is unique about the industry context of this case?
2. What is unique about the corporate and technological history of this case?
3. Summarize the experience of Ozark with ERP thus far. First, was this case headed for an overall success, qualified success, or failure? BE DECISIVE. Defend your answer by quoting the case with page numbers.
4. Evaluate the total experience that Ozark had to date with ERP using the 4-factor model presented in class to predict relative adoption success/failure with ERP. Be very specific and use a summary table to present you findings. Use the Four factor synchronous innovation diagram. Include the diagram in your one-page executive summary and support your evaluations with page numbers from the case.
You should end up with a summed score (1 each possible for each dimension, with a maximum of 4 theoretically possible). For EDI, if there is any legacy system in place which impedes adoption of ERP, score this dimension zero. For leadership, score each dimension separately: 1/5 +1/5, etc.)
5. Which option did you pick? Why? (don't forget to apply the dynamic model of ERP implementation not just the static 4-factor model for this question).
