Task Instructions

This assessment requires you to read the following case study:

Carton, R., & Richmond, W. (2018). IT Leadership and ERP: A Challenging Day for a New Leader. Journal of Information Technology Teaching Cases, 8(2), 209-216.
https://doi.org/10.1057/s41266-018-0039-5 (Original work published 2018)

You can download the case from the Course Resources page on Canvas under Week 9 reading resources or through the university library once you have logged in.

After reading the case study, you are required to present a report that answers the questions presented below:

Question 1

The case mentioned several modules that will be implemented during the ERP implementation project, identify and list these modules and drawing on the case, critically explain how integration across those modules both supports and constrains the university’s strategic objectives and key goals (10 points).

Question 2

Drawing on evidence from the case study, including the university’s size, governance structure, regulatory environment, and strategic initiatives and goals, assess whether implementing an ERP system is a more appropriate enterprise information system choice for Big State University than continuing to rely on legacy systems. Justify your answers (6 points).

Question 3

The case study outlines three key project implementation criteria that Jeff must manage across the different phases of the ERP project. Identify these three criteria from the case and briefly explain why each is critical to the success of BSU’s ERP implementation project (6 points).

Question 4

The case describes several challenges Jeff faces while leading the ERP implementation. Identify and briefly discuss the main challenges related to (1) project management, (2) legacy system integration, and (3) staff and organisational culture. Drawing on the case and course material, explain why these challenges are critical for successful ERP implementation (8 points).

Rules for the Assignment

Submission:	Your report MUST be submitted as a word of PDF document to Turnitin (via CANVAS) by the due date below. The Answer Template is available on the assignment page. The maximum word limit for the assignment is 1000 words. Please copy and paste your answers into the Answer Template. Marks will be deducted for not submitting the information in the template. When you submit your assignment to Turnitin, please examine the Turnitin report to ensure that you have not plagiarised.
References and AI use:	If you use any sources other than the Course Notes and your own understanding, you must include a Reference list at the end of your report. Entries in the Reference list should be sorted alphabetically by author, then by year of publication for works by the same author(s). Every single idea you borrow from someone else should be cited in your Reference list, and where possible it should include the page number from the source. Quotations, if used, should be in quotation marks (“…”) and should be EXACT. AI use must be acknowledged. Explain how you have used AI in your assignment.

Marking Rubric

Please note: the work is examined holistically and sometimes clear boundaries between each of the assessment criteria may not necessarily be evident.
Criterion (by Question)	A (79.50–100%)	B (64.50–79.49%)	C (49.50–64.49%)	D (0.00–49.49%)
Question 1: ERP modules and integration analysis (10 points)	Identifies seven to eight ERP modules correctly. Provides a critical and wellstructured discussion of crossmodule integration that clearly explains both enabling and constraining effects on BSU’s strategic objectives and key goals. Demonstrates systems thinking and sustained use of case evidence. Minor analytical unevenness may be present at the lower end of the band.	Identifies five to six ERP modules correctly. Discusses integration primarily in terms of strategic support, with limited or uneven treatment of constraints. Analysis is generally sound but lacks balance, depth, or consistent linkage between specific modules, integration, and strategic objectives.	Identifies three to four ERP modules correctly. Discussion of integration is largely descriptive, focuses on generic ERP benefits, and shows weak or superficial linkage to BSU’s strategic objectives and goals. Minimal critical analysis.	Identifies fewer than three ERP modules correctly. Provides little or no meaningful discussion of integration or its strategic implications. Limited engagement with the case.
Question 2: ERP versus legacy systems assessment (6 points)	Provides a wellreasoned and evidence-based assessment drawing explicitly on BSU’s size, governance structure, regulatory environment, and strategic priorities. Demonstrates balanced judgement and clear justification for system choice.	Offers a coherent comparison supported by relevant case evidence, though one or more contextual dimensions may be underdeveloped or treated superficially.	Provides a basic comparison with limited evaluative depth. Relies more on general statements about ERP and legacy systems than on case-specific reasoning.	Little or no meaningful assessment. Arguments are unsupported, inaccurate, or largely descriptive with minimal reference to the case.
Question 3: Project implementation criteria (6 points)	Identifies all three project implementation criteria correctly, with clear and accurate explanation of why each is critical across different ERP project phases. Some discussion may be partial, generic, or uneven across criteria or project phases.	Identifies two criteria correctly and explains their importance, though discussion may be partial, generic, or uneven across criteria or project phases.	Identifies one criterion correctly. Explanation is brief, descriptive, or only loosely connected to ERP implementation success.	Fails to identify the correct criteria or provides explanations that are largely inaccurate or irrelevant to the case.
Question 4: ERP implementation challenges (8 points)	Clearly identifies and critically discusses challenges across all three areas, demonstrating strong insight into their importance for successful ERP implementation. Analysis integrates technical and organisational perspectives with explicit case evidence.	Addresses all three challenge areas with appropriate discussion, though analytical depth or balance across categories may vary. Case evidence is used but not fully leveraged.	Identifies key challenges but discussion is largely descriptive and lacks explanation of why these challenges matter for ERP success.	Minimal or incorrect identification of challenges. Little understanding of their significance or relevance to ERP implementation.
