“…An approach which is described in the literature and is used in several cases in practice is the release of a Request of Information (RFI) before the development of an RFP (Verville et al, 2007;Panayiotou et al, 2005). In the majority of papers this step is proposed as a means for the organization to create a short list of potential vendors in order to make the tendering process and evaluation easier (McGinnis and McCarty, 1998).…”

Purpose -The purpose of this paper is to describe and analyze the benefits of the application of a requirements engineering framework to assist Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) development. This framework combines the technology-driven and the process-driven approaches for requirements analysis and implementation. Specific business process modeling methods enhance the framework and assist the formulation of the functional specifications of the ERP system and the management of requirements. Design/methodology/approach -A case study strategy was chosen as the most appropriate method to answer the research question and test the theoretical propositions. The case study's unit of analysis is a Greek manufacturing company and its ERP implementation project. A requirements engineering framework enhanced with business process modeling methods was applied and the results were evaluated using metrics for ERP implementation success. Data were collected using multiple sources of evidences, including interviews with various stakeholders, structured questionnaires, direct observations, vendors' functionality papers and company's documentation.Findings -This study proves that the configuration of ERP's reference models together with the adjustments of organization's processes, provided through a structured requirements engineering framework can lead to reliable functional specifications, a smooth transition to an ERP system and, eventually, to successful ERP implementation, concerning its alignment with requirements. Research limitations/implications -A single case study is conducted in a typical manufacturing company, providing opportunities for further research in other industries, testing in parallel well-defined requirements and other success factors for ERP implementation. Originality/value -The paper fulfils the identified needs for applied methodologies and frameworks for requirements engineering which can assist successful ERP implementations.

“…Baden-Fuller et al (2006) [8] used real options for venture capital risk management. Verville et al (2007) [9] describes the organizational processes to calculate the parameters in complex IT projects. Adner and Levinthal (2004) [10] argue that the effective management of real options requires a high degree of rigidity in the specification of initiatives and the criteria for their success.…”

This paper present a new method and model to analysis the venture investment decision based on the signaling game .We analyze and describe the venture investment decision making of two-period using mathematics models under the uncertainty to establish our option value model of venture investment. We analyze the asymmetric information between venture enterprises and venture investment corporations. Boil down the game between venture enterprises and venture investment corporations to signaling game under the incompleteness information. Get a solution of combination perfect Bayesian equilibrium.

“…Many organizations implement enterprise resource planning (ERP) systems from the view that they will obtain an advantage over its competitor (Verville et al, 2007), by for instance getting better and faster access to information stored. However, there are organizations that are resistant because ERP implementation takes time and costs a lot of money, while there is also a high risk that it may fail (Daneva, 2007;The Standish Group, 1995;Verville et al, 2007).…”

Abstract. Open Source receives high attention among organizations today, and there is also a growing interest on Open Source Enterprise Resource Planning (OS ERP) systems. Open source development is often considered having a high level of involvement from stakeholders in adopting organizations. However, it depends on for the first what is meant by stakeholders, but also what is meant by involvement. In the area of ERP development stakeholder involvement is defined as to what extent users of the system are involved in the development of the standardized software package. The way this is done differs between different vendors but it can be summarized as dealing with management of requirements. In this paper we explore how requirements management is done in development of OS ERP. To do this, we use a theoretical base on requirements management in the ERP field from which we investigate stakeholder involvement in four organizations and the development of it's respectively OS ERP system. The basic question asked was: how are end-users of OS ERPs involved in the development of OS ERP. From the investigation we present a general picture of the requirements management process in the OS ERP area. The main conclusion is that end-users are not involved to the extent first expected and when comparing with proprietary ERP development a tendency towards a similar approach to requirements management in OS ERP development was discovered.
