Abstract

This research paper presents the results of enterprise resource planning (ERP) learning (knowledge and skills) as well as acceptance of information technology (IT) and attitudes for students taking an ERP course who participated in an ERP simulation game. A combined total of more than 280 students over a six semester time horizon were surveyed regarding ERP knowledge and attitudes toward ERP and SAP before and again following participation in an ERP simulation game. Results suggest that the ERP simulation game was instrumental in learning ERP concepts and business processes. Moreover, student acceptance of IT was very high following the simulation game experience. In addition, salary averages for those who completed the ERP course are higher when compared to all college graduates with business majors. This research is part of a comprehensive research project to study ERP learning and decision making using ERP simulation as a medium for instruction.
