This study qualitatively assesses the organizational impact of a newly implemented ERP system in the daily and strategic functioning of the Kentucky Community and Technical College System (KCTCS). It serves as a powerful example to academic administrators, management consultants, and ERP practitioners seeking ways to cost-justify the implementation and recurring maintenance overhead of modern ERP systems in educational institutions, especially in settings troubled by the conflicting forces of growing enrollments and state-imposed budget cuts. With the new KCTCS ERP system in place, administrative oversight has been strengthened, and it is now easier to provide factual support for institutional funding requests. The new KCTCS ERP system has additionally enabled important new organizational capabilities in the areas of student recruitment, student retention, credit hour transferability, and credential transparency. It has also made it easier for KCTCS to adapt flexibly and responsively to change, create new knowledge and performance measures, and serve the needs of a new strategic horizon.

Abstract The present study sought to identify predictors associated with paid employment outcomes for community and technical college students with intellectual disability (ID). Data used were collected from the Transition and Postsecondary Programs for Students With Intellectual Disabilities (TPSID) implemented in two community and technical colleges in the upper Midwest. The participants included 228 students with ID attending college who received supports based on the Check & Connect model. Results using logistic regression showed that students who only took inclusive classes, participated in campus events, had prior paid work experience, and participated in volunteering and/or community service were more likely to earn at or above minimum wage during their most recent year in the TPSID program. Implications for policy and practice are discussed.

We study customer preference for the bike-share system in the city of London. We estimate a structural demand model on the station network to learn the preference parameters and use the estimated model to provide insights on the design and expansion of the bike-share system. We highlight the importance of network effects in understanding customer demand and evaluating expansion strategies of transportation networks. In the particular example of the London bike-share system, we find that allocating resources to some areas of the station network can be 10 times more beneficial than others in terms of system usage and that the currently implemented station density rule is far from optimal. We develop a new method to deal with the endogeneity problem of the choice set in estimating demand for network products. Our method can be applied to other settings in which the available set of products or services depends on demand.
