2) What do you believe were the critical success factors, as described in the Laudon text, for this organization? What role did they play, if any, in the development of the information system requirements?

3) What were some of the risks associated with implementing this project? How did the project team control these risks?

4) Did the project achieve the desired results? What aspects of the project did not go as well as planned?
