Question

You can choose to focus on an area of Enterprise Systems related to one or some of the learning topics in weeks one to four. Once the area is selected, you can start by studying the relevant unit materials. You are expected to add a significant body of new materials, a different perspective or depth to the information already covered in the unit materials. Learn to apply theories into real life practice, with high quality references as support.
For example, in the Development Life Cycle topic (Week 4) students may wish to investigate ERP Implementation Life Cycle at a deeper level, with reference supports from academic sources (such as textbooks, peer-reviewed journal articles) and high quality industry sources. Do not use sources that were published before 2009.
The titles for the weeks one to four learning topics are:
Week 1: Introduction to Enterprise Systems for Management
Week 2: Systems Integration
Week 3: Enterprise Systems Architecture
Week 4: Development Life Cycle
