  Chulkov attends SAP Curriculum Congress 2005

March 17, 2005

 
KOKOMO, Ind.—Indiana University Kokomo Assistant Professor of e-Business Dmitriy Chulkov, Ph.D., participated in the SAP® Curriculum Congress March 5–7 in Atlanta, Ga. SAP® is the world's largest vendor of enterprise resource planning (ERP) solutions. More than 230 leading educators took part in the Congress, representing 100 universities in 11 countries.

“Introduction to enterprise systems is important to make School of Business students competitive in today's economy,” said Chulkov. He attended Congress workshops on NetWeaver® (the next generation of SAP®) and on integrating ERP concepts into curricula. “I try to incorporate the SAP® software in my Management Information Systems class, and we plan to incorporate SAP® software in e-business concentration courses.” School of Business Dean Niranjan Pati, Ph.D., foresees additional applications of SAP® software training in course work for accounting information systems and human resources.

The software covers several business processes in one package-production, procurement/logistics, accounting, sales, and human resources, Chulkov noted. “The educational impact of having SAP in the classroom is therefore not only in learning the software operation, but also in highlighting the linkages between different business functions.”

Chulkov has previously completed 32 hours of professional training on "Enterprise Resource Planning: Pedagogical Integration of SAP® in the Business Curriculum” through Central Michigan University.
