Instructions:
Review the issue around SAP and FoxMeyer including FoxMeyer's bankruptcy, the lawsuit against SAP, and the ultimate resolution. Two links are available on the Forums page, but you can use multiple additional resources on the internet.
This Case Study should be 4-5 pages in length and focus on the following questions:
- Who was ultimately at fault for the failed ERP implementation?
- What Project Management processes could have de-escalated the issue at FoxMeyer?
- What could the FoxMeyer CEO have done differently?
- How is this case study relevant to the discussions in Week 1 and Week 2 related to Scope Management and Requirements Gathering / Traceability?
