Abstract

Our present study proposes and tests a new ERP course. The course curricula makes use of an ERP SaaS application and an eLearning platform. The teaching approach is innovative, based on an integrated and integrative thinking in order to provide to the students the best experience with on-line simulation of business processes of a virtual company and create a favorable context for students’ integrated and integrative thinking mindset. The whole package of training is the result of a close collaboration between academia, ERP providers and practitioners. The results of the study highlight the students’ responsiveness to this type of learning and positive feedback concerning the content, following the learning integrated solutions that facilitate an integrated management based on an integrated thinking strategy at the company level, and moreover, an integrative thinking. © 2021, Success Culture Press.
