    Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) systems are extremely complex information systems, whose implementation is often unsuccessful.We suggest a risk management (RM) methodology supporting the formulation of risk treatment strategies and actions during ERP introduction projects to improve the success rate. In this chapter, first the research context is presented, then the framework and the methodology are illustrated and the main phases of the proposed RM approach are introduced, finally results are discussed

    International audienceIn business management, the identification of high priority resources represents an important issue. In this paper we developed a new method based on a multi-criteria approach to identify critical resources. Eight prioritisation criteria involved in the company's global performance are proposed. The originality of our method is to take into account both material and human resources of company. Accordingly, a human-machine availability including the versatility of machine-operators is developed. We applied our method in a French screw cutting company. One great interest in identifying critical resources is helping managers to focus more effectively on resources that penalise the company's global performance

    Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis

    The present study examines one of the fundamental aspects of author co-citation analysis (ACA) - the way co-citation counts are defined. Co-citation counting provides the data on which all subsequent statistical analyses and mappings are based, and we compare ACA results based on two different types of co-citation counting - the traditional type that only counts the first one among a cited work's authors on the one hand and a non-traditional type that takes into account the first 5 authors of a cited work on the other hand. Results indicate that the picture produced through this non-traditional author co-citation counting contains more coherent author groups and is therefore considerably clearer. However, this picture represents fewer specialties in the research field being studied than that produced through the traditional first-author co-citation counting when the same number of top-ranked authors is selected and analyzed. Reasons for these effects are discussed
