Abstract

This paper presents early findings from a research project in which the research partners, academics and a telecommunication labour union, are attempting to understand, learn from and anticipate further changes related to the implementation of ERP in an industry sector in the midst of consolidation via corporate merger enabled in part by the adoption of ERP systems in the merging partners.
