Basing on the Vandelay Industries, Inc Case by: David M. Upton, Andrew McAfee from the Harvard Business Publishing Education and Davenport's Putting the enterprise... HBR

Basing on the Vandelay Industries, Inc Case by: David M. Upton, Andrew McAfee from the Harvard Business Publishing Education and Davenport's "Putting the enterprise..." HBR article, Chapter 1 of the textbook. Answer the following:

Question 1:

The time frame of the Vandelay case is the late 1990s. Enterprise systems are taking off, but we don't really know a lot yet, and we're sort of advancing the discipline real-time as we go along. However, some were out in front of this challenge: Tom Davenport, for example.

" What was Vandelay doing correctly? What were they messing up on? For what they were messing up on, should they have known better at the time (late 1990s)? "

Question 2:

Fast forward to 2022. Realizing the material for the most part is still ahead of you, answer these 2 questions:

i) What do you think from the Vandelay case is every bit as relevant (100% relevant or very close) today in 2023 as it was 25 years ago? ii) Then: what from the Vandelay case has changed over time...how much, and why?
