[AISWorld] An inquiry on MSIS-2016 vs MSIS-2006 on ERPs topics

[mmora at securenym.net]

Dear colleagues in AIS:

I have an inquiry regarding MSIS-2006 and MSIS-2016 models:

--- in MSIS-2006 the topics of ERPs, CRM, etc, were covered through IS
Technology Courses / Enterprise Models

--- in MSIS-2016 the most related dimension is Enterprise Architecture

Well, my specific concerns about it is the minimal references to planning,
modeling and implementing of ERPs, CRMs and other enterprise systems (IOS,
etc). However, most recognized and current MIS curricula include these
specific courses on ERPs, etc.

In specific, my inquiry is if MSIS-2016 does not endorse ERPs topics
anywhere as part of the core topics for MIS graduate programs? I admit
that in developed economies such courses are already taught in
undergraduate level (last year) so it could be already considered as a
prerequisite, as it is implicitly established in MSIS-2016 prerequisite
section (assumption of incoming bachelor students focused on IT rather
from several backgrounds).

Well, thanks very much in advance for any comment on it!
Prof. Mora
