Information Systems (IS) inevitably become bound up in organisational politics because they influence access to a key resource- namely, information. Information systems can affect who does what to whom, when, where, and how in an organisation. Many organisations require changes in personal, individual routines that can be painful for those involved and required retraining and additional effort that may or may not be compensated. Identify a case scenario in Saudi Arabia, where Cloud ERP implementation has been an issue. You, then, are expected to:
- Discuss the difficulties of implementing cloud ERP systems in Saudi Arabia.
- Describe, and discuss the reasons behind user, and organizational resistance to cloud ERP systems in Saudi Arabia.
- Frame your discussion into a theoretical framework to support your your answers.
The purpose of this assignment is to build up a better understanding of organizational resistance to change, and to examine theories, which support students’ analysis, findings and results. The students should be able to acquire in-depth understanding of CSFs, and their impact over IS project (e.g. Cloud ERP). This, therefore, encourages students to shape a holistic view of how IS impacts organization, management practices, and people.
