Requirements for the Summary-Reflection Paper:

For each reading article, you are responsible for writing a summary-reflection essay ( around 2 pages or more as needed) (after you read it). 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.

Antecedents of Knowledge Transfer from Consultants to Clients in Enterprise System Implementations 
· Dong-Gil Ko,  Laurie J. Kirsch and William R. King
One of the most important trends of today is that of companies implementing Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) softwares in their systems for a more systematic and secure approach to running the business. The general approach to this kind of implementation is the firm chooses a software company according to their needs, then they employ consultants to assist implementation of the system in the firm and help the employees understand its functioning and other important aspects. The aim of this procedure is to ensure proper knowledge transfer from experts, so that even post departure of consultants, the employees have a grasp of system and successfully function on their own. In very simple words, this paper studies the factors which affect this knowledge transfer from one firm to another. This paper goes on to discuss in detail the background causes for better or worse knowledge transfer and builds up a theory which supports their views.
Since it has been observed that ERP implementations have a tedious effect on the firm and its employees, and since it is a time-consuming and costly affair, firms have started employing consultants specifically for making this transition smoother. But, because of difference in the knowledge types between the consultant and the client, where the consultant is considered to have only technical knowledge while the clients have the business knowledge, an unseen barrier is created which restricts transfer of knowledge. When literature was studied in this aspect, information was only available regarding knowledge transfer in IS, while ERP is much more precise and complicated than that. So, our researchers focused on the factors or barriers to knowledge transfer specifically for ERP systems and following are the results of this study.
Out of the many papers studied during the course of preparation of literature review,
