Enterprise resource planning (ERP) systems have become indispensable software systems for many corporations worldwide. As more and more companies implement ERP to sup-port daily business transactions, the need for ERP trained employees are increasing as well. Industry demand has prompted many universities to consider incorporating ERP into their curricula. Information systems curriculum in many universities have started offering courses that include ERP education; however, most universities have faced multi-faceted challenges related to lab setup, training, software support, and curriculum design. In this chapter, a guideline for development and teaching an ERP based course with MS Great Plains™ is provided. Teaching approach is discussed and an ERP based business curriculum is proposed. Effectiveness of the curriculum design in the classroom is analyzed based on a single semester trial of the course in two classrooms.

Stated Objective

Abstract This paper outlines an Accounting Information Systems (AIS) manual practice set that is purely accounting-oriented. AIS faculty make extensive use of manual practice set projects in upper-division courses. A common feature of projects is their substantial bookkeeping component. In addition to their accounting components, such projects usually require students to perform the tasks of clerk and bookkeeper for the main business processes—sales, cash receipts, cash disbursements, purchases, and payroll—before beginning each accounting task. This amount of repetitive work can be tedious and time-consuming. The accounting-oriented practice set offered here (available free of charge with proper citation) requires only accounting and auditing tasks. Yet it enables students to gain an appreciation of AIS, and to carry their understanding into other systems, including computerized environments. This is consistent with the stated objective of increasing the student's information system skills, as opposed to teaching bookkeeping skills. The paper also explains why this teaching approach may be preferable.

Abstract. Digitalization, enhanced storage capacities, and the Internet of Things increase the volume of data in modern organizations. To process and make use of these data and to avoid information overload, management information systems (MIS) are introduced that collect, process, and analyze relevant data. However, a precondition for the application of MIS is that users trust them. Extending accounts of trust in automation and trust in technology, we introduce a new model of trust in MIS that addresses the conceptual ambiguities of existing conceptualizations of trust and integrates initial empirical work in this field. In doing so, we differentiate between perceived trustworthiness of an MIS, experienced trust in an MIS, intentions to use an MIS, and actual use of an MIS. Moreover, we consider users’ perceived risks and contextual factors (e. g., autonomy at work) as moderators. The introduced model offers guidelines for future research and initial suggestions to foster trust-based MIS use.
