Kazakhstan Perspectives on ERP System Implementation

Abstract: The main purpose of this study is to explore what are the critical factors in implementing enterprise resources planning(ERP) system in the Republic of Kazakhstan. Theses critical factors are expected to be utilized in design and implementation of ERP systems in Kazakhstan. The survey has been conducted by distribution of questionnaires focusing on local companies. The respondents were two groups, group A being professionals and managers while group B being end users. It has been found that most of the respondents are aware of the ERP system while their companies were implementing or had implemented the ERP system. Based on the results of the study it is noted that despite some difficulties in identifying right target for the survey overall positive impression was observed, as most projects were implemented successfully. The research has limitations as the sample size is only 100 respondents, not randomly selected, and questionnaires were sent by email to people chosen by the convenience. Thus this factor might have affected a lot to generalize the findings of this study. This study concludes that the ERP system is becoming widespread in Kazakhstan although mainly among large companies, and there are some constraints for the wide implementation of the system such as the cost, lack of commitment from whole organization, education and training and on the perception of implementing ERP as a whole.

Protest Suicide: A Systematic Model with Heuristic Archetypes

Abstract: Suicide as a form of political protest is a little studied social phenomenon that cannot be dismissed simply as being irrational or patholognomic. We consider protest suicide to be a meaningful social action as purposive political act intended to change oppressive policies or practices. This paper synthesizes theoretical propositions associated with suicide in general, and protest suicide in particular, so as to construct a general explanatory model of protest suicide as a social phenomenon. Then, it analyzes protest suicide as a meaningful social action. People considering protest suicide have to discern the logic of the situation in which such action is to take place. This involves answering two fundamental questions: Is suicide an acceptable course of social action? Is the envisaged protest suicide likely to achieve their hopes, aspirations and goals? How these questions are answered gives rise to a set of protest suicide archetypes. Our analysis generates a more sophisticated understanding of the potential reasons for, and motivations behind, protest suicide as a social phenomenon.
