The primary purpose of this text is to lay out the scope of ERP Systems implementation, explain the competitive advantages of using ERP Systems, and support general concepts with short case studies. This text covers the fundamental issues important in ERP implementation and management, starting from an information systems, information technology project management perspective. Each chapter will include a review of real cases of ERP implementations related to that particular chapter content. The text is meant to be software product independent, in order to enable schools to select their own ERP Systems software tools and use them as time permits.

This text is a project management text that focuses on "high technology." The text is brief and has more applied vs. theoretical coverage. The text will focus on traditional project management topics, i.e., project adoption, planning, scheduling, and implementation, however, Olson will look at these topics from an IS or software perspective.

One of the most important tasks faced by decision-makers in business and government is that of selection. Selection problems are challenging in that they require the balancing of multiple, often conflicting, criteria. In recent years, a number of interesting decision aids have become available to assist in such decisions. The aim of this book is to provide a comparative survey of many of the decision aids currently available. The first chapters present general ideas which underpin the methodologies used to design these aids. Subsequent chapters then focus on specific decision aids and demonstrate some of the software which implement these ideas. A final chapter provides a comparative analysis of their strengths and weaknesses.

Olson's Introduction to Project Management, 2/e is a project management text that focuses on "systems" issues. The primary focus is to examine the many issues facing MIS project managers. The revision also now incorporates the Project Management Institute's Body of Knowledge (PMBOK), better preparing users for the PMI certification exam. Olson focuses on traditional project management topics such as project adoption, planning, scheduling, and implementation while encouraging students to view the projects holistically and analytically. Utilizing the most current software and project management tools, he provides students with the most effective strategies for today's IT project managers.
