Solutions for the QuestionsA. We would recommend that Eliva implement the Oracle Fusion ERP system across the 7 Asian countries.Reasons:1. The Oracle Fusion ERP system addresses the challenges related to financial audits, manufacturing, operations, inventory, maintaining records and Management Information System (MIS) as these processes are well defined in the system unlike Micro Dynamics.2.

    The first was a 12-year-old girl. Her parents said that she was awake in the middle of the night complaining of a stuffy nose and sore throat. They gave her an extra strength Tylenol and sent her back to bed. At 7am the next morning, the parents discovered that the girl had collapsed on the bathroom floor. An ambulance rushed the girl to a nearby hospital, where she was pronounced dead. That same day, paramedics found the second victim unconscious on his kitchen floor after what they thought was an apparent heart attack. Sadly, the victim’s brother and fiancée also collapsed later that night while the family gathered to mourn his passing. Both had taken Tylenol to help them cope with their loss shortly before collapsing; neither survived. In the next four days, four other similar deaths were reported, all in the same neighborhood and all with similar symptoms.…

    Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) is identified as the essential platform upon which companies are building their competitive business process upgrades (Caruso 2003). An ERP system is an integrated software solution that spans the range of business processes that enables companies to gain a holistic view of the business enterprise. It promises one database, one application, and a unified interface across the entire enterprise (Bingi, Sharma & Godla 1999). Due to the fact that ERP systems provide companies with a means to have an integrated and unified business process, companies have not been swayed from investing large amounts of money on…

    The jury in a sexual harassment suit brought by a former high-ranking New York Knicks basketball team executive recently awarded her more than $11 million in punitive damages. They did so after hearing testimony during what the New York Times called a “sordid four-week trial”. Officials of Madison Square Garden (which owns the Knicks) said they would appeal the verdict. However, even if they were to win on appeal (which one University of Richmond Law School professor said was unlikely), the case still exposed the organization and its managers to a great deal of unfavorable publicity.…

    Tektronix Case

    Tektronix knew the needed change was complex and involved a comprehensive restructuring of the firm. Despite this, they never lost sight of the bottom-line -- customer service and customer impact. This provided a clear and simple strategic objective that influenced not only the computer systems aspect but more importantly, the project methodology to address: 1) project team composition (project champion, cross-functional/geographic teams, vendor selection) 2) changes in organizational structure including changes in job scope and norms, 3) adjustments in management systems (for controls/checks and balance) and finally, 4) improvements in process flows. As comprehensive global ERP systems have traditionally taken too long to implement, a dynamic and incremental implementation of ERP components is recommended as opposed to massive reengineering.[1] Tektronix’s staggered deployment of an all-encompassing (and therefore very risky) project 1) allowed periodic milestone “checks”, 2) encouraged process improvements (ex: Oracle upgrades, process tweaks) 3) scheduling flexibility, and 4) yielded frequent victories, critical not only for maintaining team morale but to maintaining continued support from the Board as well.…
