2. Discuss the Critical Success Factors of RR's implementation strategy and the role of SME's in the project.
3. What advice can you give to RR's technical team on their approach of migrating legacy system, with the SAP software?

(2) They start the implementation of ERP when they lacked the necessary people at the top management level to make decisions on the implementation plan
(3) Implement too many changes too fast
(4) Hershey's employee were not trained for the data entry when the system change so sharp
(5) Top management didn't get involved in any implementation
2. What lessons can be learned from the Hershey experience?
(1) Go slowly and use a phased- in approach
(2) Train the worker to get use to the rigid data required system
(3) A team of top management must steer the launch of software
