Editorial Reviews

"Strategic ERP Extension and Use looks beyond the pain and cost of ERP implementation to examine how ERP systems are being used and enhanced. It takes us on a fruitful tour of big and small companies, of manufacturing and a host of business functions, of plain vanilla systems and bevies of bolt-ons, and of single locations and entire supply chains. As we tour we get a glimpse of how ERP is evolving in the ever-inventive hands of its users." —Roger Schmenner,Indiana University and Associate Dean, Indianapolis Programs


"A satisfying mixture of empirical findings, intelligent analysis, and informed speculation. . . . For researchers there is a wealth of issues ranging from developing within-firm capabilities to improving the payoff from external linkages. For the practitioner there are analyses of successes and failures, guidelines for auditing ERP systems, and a glimpse of the future." —Clay Whybark,University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill
