Managerial Issues and Challenges
Carlos Ferran, Ricardo Salim
Information Science Reference | 2008-04-04 | ISBN: 1599045311
420 pages | PDF | 3,7 MB

 Local functional systems that create inefficient islands of information are being replaced  by expensive enterprise-wide applications that unify the functional areas; however, while  we have not yet been able to completely and seamlessly integrate across functions, we find  that the new islands of information are no longer functional but political, cultural,  linguistic, and geographical. The global village is a reality and enterprise resource  planning (ERP) implementations face new issues and challenges.

 Enterprise Resource Planning for Global Economies: Managerial Issues and Challenges  provides authoritative research on the theoretical frameworks and pragmatic discussions on  global implementations of information systems, particularly ERP systems. This book offers  professionals, managers, and researchers who want to improve their understanding of the  issues and challenges that arise when information systems cross national boundaries with an  authoritative, essential research resource.

Current evidence points to management accountants using traditional software (such as spreadsheets) for budgeting, ABC, balanced scorecards and other performance management techniques independent of, rather than integrated with Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) Systems.
While there has been some limited research on the effects of ERP systems on management accountants, this report provides a comprehensive analysis of the consequences of implementation of ERP systems for management accountants.
 

This report provides a theoretical basis for studying the impact of Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) systems on management accounting and provides critical insights into the opportunities provided by ERP systems for the most efficient use of management accounting techniques.
The seven UK case studies of ERP implementations reveal the correlation between the success of the system implementation and the development of the role of management accountants in business partners thereby identifying the changes and skills required of management accountants.
The book provides guidance to management accountants on the changes they need to make in order to achieve the most from an ERP system implementation.

The focus of this book is on the most important class of enterprise system, namely Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) systems.

In this book, the editors have assembled some of the world's best research on ERP systems, with a view to providing a foundation for second wave improvements to enterprise systems. Written primarily for managers and consultants, this book is also an ideal reference for business schools and researchers.
