All Aboard: ERP implementation as participatory design
- 2010

Ingår i: AMCIS Proceedings. ; 14

Konferensbidrag (refereegranskat)abstract
- Following a previous description of Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) implementations as participatory design (Pries-Heje & Dittrich, 2009), this paper explores the case of a medium-sized, family-owned manufacturing company and their endeavors with changing their current ERP system. The case was selected on the premise of it being perceived a success by the involved stakeholders. Through a series of interviews and analysis of secondary material, the case covers the period between 1995 and 2010. As the results show, several instances of user involvement and participation can be found throughout the case. According to the respondents, this is seen as one of the central elements of the success. This is discussed in relation to previous findings and a call for future research into ERP implementation is presented.

Get Together: A case of participatory ERP implementation and its transfer to class
- 2010

Ingår i: International Conference on Computer Supported Education. ; 2

Konferensbidrag (refereegranskat)abstract
- Regardless of how well designed and functioning the Enterprise Re- source Planning (ERP) system is, the dimensioning factor for ERP utilization will be the users themselves. In this paper, we report from a case study of a me- dium-sized manufacturing company that took an alternative approach to their ERP procurement and implementation. Through involving multiple process owners in a series of workshops with the scope of specifying the as-is and to-be process of the business, the company focused on getting the users involved from the start. A selection of the findings in this case has been used as inspira- tion for a course-module for teaching ERP, and this paper reports from the case and the transfer of experience into class.

Process methodology in ERP-related education: A case from Swedish higher education
- 2009
-
Ingår i: BIS 2009 Conference post-proceedings.
-
Konferensbidrag (refereegranskat)abstract
- There has long been a debate regarding the inclusion of IT into the curriculum for business students. With IT being a natural part of their coming working environment, the under-developed use of for instance Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) solutions has suffered much critique. At the same time the process oriented approach has saturated the business environment. With ERP systems designed using a process oriented approach, this case explores the potential use of a flow from business opportunity to general ledger as a means for achieving both ERP and business knowledge enhancement among the students. As a joint initiative between academia and industry, a first attempt at using this approach was applied and tested in Sweden during the fall of 2008. The purpose of this case is to present the outline of the initiative, along with an evaluation and key lessons-learned.

Precautionary defaults - A new strategy for chemical risk management
- 2004
-
Ingår i: Human and Ecological Risk Assessment. - : Informa UK Limited. - 1080-7039 .- 1549-7860. ; 10, s. 1-18

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- In order to give adequate support to risk managers, new risk assessment methods should be developed that are (1) scientifically sound, (2) simplified, and (3) suited for precautionary risk management. In this Perspective we propose that the notion of a precautionary default can be a useful tool in the development of such methods. A precautionary default is a cautious or pessimistic assumption that is used in the absence of adequate information and that should be replaced when such information is obtained. Furthermore, we point out some promising research areas for the development of such indicators, viz. connections between chemical characteristics such as persistence and effect parameters, monitoring of contaminants in polar regions, monitoring of contaminants in breast milk, application of results from (human) toxicology in ecotoxicology and vice versa, (eco) toxicological test systems that are sensitive to effects on reproduction, and the application of bioinformatic methods to complex data, both in genomic research and in ecotoxicology. We conclude that precautionary decision-making does not require less science, but to the contrary it requires more science and improved communication between scientists and risk managers.
