SELECTING ENTERPRISE APPLICATIONS FOR CURRICULUM: INSIGHTS FROM A TEACHING INITIATIVE

Abstract

Many schools incorporate hands-on labs of Enterprise Applications into Management Information Systems (MIS) curricula. Instructors can be overwhelmed with a variety options including Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP), Supply Chain Management (SCM), Customer Relationship Management (CRM), and Business Intelligence (BI) just to name a few. To complicate matters further, there are a number of viable vendors for each option. The current study aims to offer insights and share experiences of vendor selection, contracting, and product selection procedures. Eventually, the current study illustrates the effectiveness of selected applications for general MIS education.
