5. Discussion and conclusions
In this paper, we presented an innovative pedagogical approach (ERPSim) using PBL to teach operations
management in the context of integrated information systems that is authentic, ill-structured, student-
centered, and facilitator-driven. The realism of the ERPSim approach brings technology, operations man-
agement, and strategy together in one forum for learning.
