Why are EIS and ERP different in SMEs compared to large organizations? Start by explaining the differences between an SME and a large organization, then analyze the IS solutions they use.2) Discuss the classification of functionalities used in this article and leading vendors. Why are these classifications used and what do they mean.3) Based on the theory presented in the course, other research on IS and the case study make an outline of an EIS solution for an SME engineering company. Consider the organizational strategy, the functionalities and the applications.4) Choose one or more of the functional groupings illustrated in 'Table 1' of the case study and draw a possible entity-relationship diagram. You may need to make assumptions but try to make it as realistic as possible.5) The functionalities and systems that support them are usually designed by a small number of people in the organization. Popular standardized ERP systems may also be used without any significant changes. Is it therefore important for all members of an organization to have an understanding of these functional areas and the systems that support them? Analyze the arguments for and against and defend your position.
