Simulating the Implementation of Business Information Systems: The Case of Enterprise Resource Planning
نویسنده
چکیده
This paper seeks to understand the dynamics of information systems implementation within firms and more specifically focuses on the case of Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP). This contribution applies a simple differential equation based model to a real firm and successfully fits the model to the observed data. The model is able to predict the implementation time under various conditions. In a broader perspective, the paper discusses the use of simulations and how these methods could be the engine behind actionable managerial tools. This contribution outlines that these tools will become more prevalent in the future as graphics hardware becomes utilised, allowing computational intensive simulations to be performed far more cheaply and quickly than is currently possible.
