Purpose of the Assignment: This assignment has a two-fold purpose: 1. To
keep you update of the current development of information technologies
for management. 2. To build up your skills in searching, summarizing and
presenting information in an effective manner. Requirements of the
Assignment: Identify two related articles published RECENTLY that
describe/discuss the topic of Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) and the
Applications. One article should be ONLY published on the Internet, and
the other article should be ORIGINALLY published off the Internet (but,
it may also be available on the Internet). Write a short report in APA
(American Psychology Association) style on the information technology
discussed in the articles, which accounts 10% of your final grade. The
report should be word-processed in Times New Roman 12 pt font, with no
less than FIVE double-spaced and numbered pages (with 1” margins on all
sides), excluding figures, tables, or illustrations. Fewer pages will
result in points deduction. It should include the following parts: ▪
Your name and course information (in order to save paper, no cover page!
Otherwise, some points will be taken off). ▪ Title of your report. ▪
Abstract of the report (single spaced and in between the title and the
Introduction) ▪ Discussion on the main points and issues in the two
articles via comparison and contrast. ▪ Your reasons of choosing the two
articles, and your comments on them. ▪ References (correct citations in
APA format for both articles, and other articles cited in the report,
and not counted for the length requirement of the report). Note: • The
articles should be technical articles written in layman language with
few or no technical formulas and technical jargons. And, the articles
should be as recent as possible. Grading Criteria: Grades will be based
on: ✓ The relevance and nature of the articles to the course (20%). ✓
The organization/structure of your report (30%). ✓ The content, quality,
and clarity of your report (50%).
