The primary purpose of this text will be to lie out the scope of ERP (Enterprise Resource Planning) Systems implementation, explain the competitive advantages of using ERP Systems and support general concepts with short case studies. This text covers the fundamental issues important in ERP implementation and management, starting from an information systems/information technology project management perspective. Each chapter will include a review of real cases of ERP implementations related to that particular chapter content. The text is meant to be software product independent, in order to allow schools to select their own ERP Systems software tools and use them as time permits. The benefit to this approach is that in addition to learning key concepts related to ERP Systems operations and implementation, adopters want to see lots of illustrations and examples, especially case studies.

<p>"Introduction to Business Data Mining" was developed to introduce students, as opposed to professional practitioners or engineering students, to the fundamental concepts of data mining. Most importantly, this text shows readers how to gather and analyze large sets of data to gain useful business understanding. A four part organization introduces the material (Part I), describes and demonstrated basic data mining algorithms (Part II), focuses on the business applications of data mining (Part III), and presents an overview of the developing areas in this field, including web mining, text mining, and the ethical aspects of data mining. (Part IV). The author team has had extensive experience with the quantitative analysis of business as well as with data mining analysis. They have both taught this material and used their own graduate students to prepare the text's data mining reports. Using real-world vignettes and their extensive knowledge of this new subject, David Olson and Yong Shi have created a text that demonstrates data mining processes and techniques needed for business applications.</p>
