The model, the Political Strategies Framework, is applied to case study data from two companies, one in the US and one in Italy that implemented a SAP Enterprise Planning Systems (ERP) with very different outcomes. The discussion highlights the different political dynamics of the implementation process in each culture and the way in which the Political Strategies Framework can help us understand these differences.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
