Requirements for the Summary-Reflection Paper:

For each reading article, you are responsible for writing a summary-reflection essay. This essay should reflect your reflections of the concepts and theoretical frameworks discussed and the confusions you may have.Rather than simply repeat or even copy/paste from original reading materials, please focus on your understanding of the concepts and theoretical frameworks. To be more specific, besides a brief summary, you should have a major section dedicated to the confusions you have with the concepts and models in the reading materials. You should comment on those concepts and models with your own opinions based on working experiences, readings from the library, and reflections of your previous learning.

If you just repeat abstract concepts from the reading materials, you will not earn a high score. You should connect concepts with job/internship experiences.

The following rubrics of essay evaluation could be used to guide your writing. All essays are single-spaced with top and bottom margins of 1 inch and left and right-side margins of 1 inch and the font size should be 12.

Learning to implement enterprise systems: An exploratory study of the dialects of change
· Daniel Robey, Jeanne W. Ross, and Marie-Claude Boudreau

In the paper, the researchers have mapped the journey of 13 organizations in their process of ERP implementation and what barriers they faced. Among the various phases encountered in this process, the most important one is the implementation phase, where, according to the paper, most problems have been endured including knowledge gaps in using and understanding the software. Based on the comparison of each of these firms, the lack of knowledge was identified as two parts, one which was directly related to configuration of the software and the other was getting accustomed to the new process. The paper revolves around how and in what configurations these problems were addressed and contained by the companies in the study.
The paper begins with a short introduction on ERP systems, which are basically integrated software to help the company to always be on the same page. This process helps organizations build up a communication system both transparent and rapid, thus eliminating the misinterpretation or non-delivery of important information across the company. Since most of these software are multi-lingual, and enable multiple timings and currencies, it truly enables a global work culture. But this implementation, we get to know is neither time-effective nor does it come at a cheap price.  As soon as the money factor comes in, companies have to identify how much the company actually needs this and it’s utility in the long-term aspect. And in this this case historical data suggests otherwise as huge companies like Siemens, Boeing and Panasonic have failed miserably to implement these technologies in the first phase itself as their managers failed to understand the concepts clearly. Under these circumstances, where both the risks and the gains are contradicting each other,
