Enterprise Systems (ES) have become increasingly popular since the early 1990s. One goal of these systems is to provide an encapsulation of core business processes and information. Many organisations have acquired ES technology, however there are considerable risks associated with ES implementation, maintenance and on-going use. In this unit, you will be equipped with the information required to inform ES adoption, selection and implementation decisions and the ability to communicate this knowledge to your peers and employers.

Important note: Students enrolled in a subsequent unit who failed their pre-requisite unit, should drop the subsequent unit before the census date or within 10 working days of Fail grade notification. Students who do not drop the unit in this timeframe cannot later drop the unit without academic and financial liability. See details in the Assessment Policy and Procedure (Higher Education Coursework).

Attendance Requirements
All on-campus students are expected to attend scheduled classes - in some units, these classes are identified as a mandatory (pass/fail) component and attendance is compulsory. International students, on a student visa, must maintain a full time study load and meet both attendance and academic progress requirements in each study period (satisfactory attendance for International students is defined as maintaining at least an 80% attendance record).
Recommended Student Time Commitment
Each 6-credit Undergraduate unit at CQUniversity requires an overall time commitment of an average of 12.5 hours of study per week, making a total of 150 hours for the unit.

Assessment Overview
Assessment Grading
This is a graded unit: your overall grade will be calculated from the marks or grades for each assessment task, based on the relative weightings shown in the table above. You must obtain an overall mark for the unit of at least 50%, or an overall grade of 'pass' in order to pass the unit. If any 'pass/fail' tasks are shown in the table above they must also be completed successfully ('pass' grade). You must also meet any minimum mark requirements specified for a particular assessment task, as detailed in the 'assessment task' section (note that in some instances, the minimum mark for a task may be greater than 50%). Consult the University's Grades and Results Policy for more details of interim results and final grades.

Include industry-specific examples and case studies for ERP in supply chain and customer relationship management related content.
Feedback from Student Unit and Teaching Evaluation (SUTE) Unit Comments
The lecture slides and learning materials are well-structured and presented on the Moodle unit page.
Maintain the existing structure and presentation of the lecture slides and learning materials on the Moodle unit page.
Feedback from Unit Coordinator self-reflection
The assessment does not include industry-relevant case studies, which limits opportunities for practical application and real-world problem-solving.
Incorporate tasks that utilise ERP-related software to address recent industry challenges into the assessment.
- Evaluate the role of Enterprise Systems in organisations and their adoption and use characteristics
- Compare the common Enterprise System modules and their features
- Analyse the individual activities and the roles of key stakeholders in an organisation's Enterprise System life-cycle
