Based on the information provided in the the beginning, answer the question

Information Systems (IS) inevitably become bound up in organisational politics because they influence access to a key resource- namely, information. Information systems can affect who does what to whom, when, where, and how in an organisation. Many organisations require changes in personal, individual routines that can be painful for those involved and required retraining and additional effort that may or may not be compensated. Please note the following:

Discuss the major difficulties of ERP system implementation in USA.

Discuss the reasons behind user, and organizational resistance to ERP systems in USA.

The purpose of this assignment is to build up a better understanding of organizational resistance to change, and to examine theories, which support students’ analysis, findings and results. The students should be able to acquire in-depth understanding of CSFs, and their impact over IS project (e.g. Cloud ERP). This, therefore, encourages students to shape a holistic view of how IS impacts organization, management practices, and people.

There are two extremes when it comes to the power of providers to set prices. The first one is the provider has no power and must accept the reimbursement rate set by others. The second one is the provider sets the price and the third-party payers must accept them. Neither sounds like a win-win for all parties involved. We will explore these strategies in this week’s discussion question.

You are the Business Manager for Dr. Jones' medical practice. He is hoping to open in a few months but first wants to determine his prices.

In your memo, be sure to first provide a brief discussion of what it means to be price-setter or price-taker. List the pros and cons of each one. Be sure to comment on the strategies that would be used in both scenarios. Finally, end the memo with your recommendation.

Instructions:

1. Post your memo as the initial post.
2. Compare and contrast your memo with your classmates.
