Resumo Inglês:

This paper deals with the impact of ERP implementation on the job of the individual manager. Does the job of the manager change significantly after ERP implementation ? Is this perception of change uniform across different functions such as purchase, production and production planning? These are the research questions explored in this paper. Significant differences were found in the perceived role profile across various functions. The results gave an insight into the nature of work of managers in the various functional positions. Significant differences in the perception of changes in role profile across functions were also found. The analysis of interview responses provided an interesting insight into these observed results.
