Features: In the Chinese book market, most books on ERP are theoretical, typically covering the history of ERP development to the system's functional framework, from the inventory point system to material requirements planning, often profound yet dry. The author of 7 Roles and ERP takes a different approach, treating ERP as a corporate transformation project and exploring the responsibilities of seven key roles in the ERP implementation process (Corporate CEO, Implementation Project Leader, Middle Managers, Implementation Team, Selection Team, Sales Consultant, Implementation Consultant): What responsibilities do they bear? What specific tasks should they complete? What techniques can be learned, and what are the taboos? The author combines management theory, corporate practice, and ERP implementation methodologies to provide an actionable guide for key roles in ERP projects. As a collection of practical experience in ERP implementation, 7 Roles and ERP can be considered an outstanding work in popularizing ERP knowledge. It is hoped that the seven types of key managers in rapidly growing companies currently implementing or preparing to invest in ERP projects can exchange experiences and insights with the author in this book, discover the operational patterns of ERP projects, better fulfill their role responsibilities, and help more rapidly growing companies succeed with ERP!
