APPLYING KNOWLEDGE AND UNDERSTANDING:
Participants will learn the basic functions of Enterprise Resource Planning software necessary for managing sales, procurement and production processes.

MAKING JUDGEMENTS:

Teaching methods

The first half of the course (Iessons 1, 2, and 3) are face-to-face lectures that will take place at the school of Economics.
Game simulation are online on the SAP platform and students may connect on remote from the unviersity or from their home.

Exam Rules

Assessment will be based on the student’s ability to apply the concepts covered in the course through the use of SAP S4/Hana software.During the gaming sessions, students will be required to perform specific activities within the system; these will be recorded and monitored by the instructor in order to verify their actual ability to implement, within the system, the concepts learned during the initial lectures.At the end of the course, participants are expected to be able to use the main SAP S4/Hana commands and to critically analyze the data available within the ERP system.In addition, for each gaming session, students will be required to upload to the Teams platform—within one week of the session—a document containing the business process design used in the simulation as well as a SWOT analysis.

Attendance Rules

Minimum attendance requirement is the 80% of the overall number of hours scheduled for the course.
