Implementing Enterprise Resource Planning Education in a Postgraduate Accounting Information Systems Course

The importance of Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) systems education, its inclusion and evaluation in a university teaching context are the subjects of this article. As the importance of ERP systems has increased in the corporate world, so too has its importance increased in education. Many universities have recognized this need and the potential for using ERP systems software to teach business concepts. In this paper, the approach adopted is to develop a course that integrates theoretical accounting and business concepts together with a hands-on practical component. The course aims to empower postgraduate accounting students with knowledge regarding the process of adopting and exploiting ERP systems software to develop and maintain competitive advantage for organizations in a global marketplace
