Management Information Systems

The problem addressed in this study was the low success rate of ERP project implementations that could negatively impact productivity and operational performance (Dezdar, 2012; Florescu et al., 2010).

This dissertation takes a practical approach driven by operational experiences of cloud services to tackle the two problems.
