ENTERPRISE RESOURCE PLANNING, 2ND EDN

Enterprise Resource Planning is designed
to serve as a textbook for a course in enterprise resource planning (ERP). It
will prove useful to MBA students as well as professionals involved in ERP
implementation. With its lucid coverage of the software and process aspects
of ERP, this book will also be useful to both undergraduate and postgraduate
students of Information Technology.

Beginning with the evolution of ERP, the book goes on to explain
comprehensively the implementation of ERP and the challenges faced therein.
It discusses the role of extended ERP applications and post-implementation
issues. The last two chapters of the book focus on the concept of Go live
with ERP and the implications of implementing ERP for the various processes
and departments within an organization.

Written in an easy-to-understand manner, the book contains many real-life
examples, from a variety of industries and applications, to illustrate key
points. The text is supplemented by pedagogical features such as
illustrations, boxed material (highlighting important software, computer
languages, and definitions), real-life cases and a large database of
exercises. Lucid explanation of concepts and a simplistic approach to problem
solving make for a complete textbook.
