Abstract
ERPsim is a set of computer-based simulation games for the SAP enterprise resource planning (ERP) system in which participants use the system to manage their virtual company in a competitive market. While many students and businesspeople have come to use ERPsim games in learning about the SAP ERP system, little is known about how useful and how easy to use reports available in the system are during ERPsim games. This study attempts to evaluate the usefulness and ease of use of reports and their effects on transactional decisions during ERPsim games, using data from a survey of college students who used the Distribution ERPsim game in a course on ERP systems. Previous research shows that the usefulness and ease of use of information are crucial factors that determine the effectiveness of decision-making. The results of this study would be helpful to those who use ERPsim games as well as those who design ERPsim games and further the SAP ERP system in which ERPsim games run. The results are based upon the perceptions of users in a simulated setting; however, they could provide valuable insights into the effects of usefulness and ease of use of reports on transactional decisions.
