Forwarded message from [FAdam@AFIS.UCC.IE (Adam, Frederic)] sent originally on Wed, 24 May 2000 15:51:35 +0100: : JOURNAL OF DECISION SYSTEMS : : CALL FOR PAPERS - SPECIAL ISSUE ON: : : Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) Systems and their impact on Decision : Making : : The Journal of Decision Systems (JDS) invites researchers to contribute to a : special issue of JDS on Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) systems and their : impact on decision making. This special issue will also focus on other : related types of integrated information systems in the areas of Customer : Relationship Management (CRM) and Supply Chain Management (SCM) and their : impact on managerial practices. It has been argued that these recently : described systems have the potential to revolutionise businesses and result : in much more reliable circulation of data amongst organisational actors and : increased visibility on the key aspects of the business. There is, however, : empirical evidence that ERP systems may not deliver as many benefits as is : claimed by vendors, consultants and, sometimes, academic researchers. One : crucial test in relation to the impact these systems are having on : organisations is to measure the extent to which they are changing the way : managers approach the problems they face. Do ERP systems really help : managers in identifying and tackling problems, or are they just operational : level systems? Do they deliver tangible managerial benefits or are they just : a way of keeping auditors and shareholders happy? : : We seek to publish research papers which investigate the impact which new : types of integrated information systems such as ERP, CRM and SCM, are having : on the decision making processes of organisations. Papers that use in-depth : case studies of organisations which have developed or implemented ERP, CRM : or SCM systems to derive practical advice for managers are also invited. : : Topics include but are not limited to: : : * Managerial goals of Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) systems : implementations : * Success of ERP implementations in managerial terms and benefits : delivered : * Experiences with Customer Relationship Management (CRM) systems and : their impact on decision making processes : * Experiences with Supply Chain Management (SCM) systems and their : impact on decision making processes : * Evidence of organisational learning with integrated systems : : Each article submitted for this special issue will be reviewed by two : knowledgeable IS researchers and the Guest Editors. The final decision will : be made by the Guest Editor and the full time Editors of JDS. Manuscripts : should normally be 5,000-7,000 words.
