Background/Purpose: The paper describes two cases of Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) systems integration into the educational process. Case studies used at the University of Maribor, Faculty of Organizational Sciences, Slovenia and at the University of Economics Prague, Czech Republic are presented and explained with regards to where and how they are used. The lectures and seminars on the ERP systems and the market share leader ERP system SAP are available for students at both universities. Both universities have gained much practical experience with the teaching of ERP based on exercises and practical experience with the SAP product done by students. As a next step, both universities plan to prepare a common international e-business course based on scenarios running on the SAP application accessible for students from both universities. This kind of cooperation could give student projects a new international dimension. Key words: case, education, Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP), process, procurement, SAP, teaching, selling

Background/Purpose: The implementation projects of e-business systems are strategic and complex projects. They require substantial resources, and yet, the success is not guaranteed. Organizations must try to minimize risks by focusing on critical success factors (CSFs) of e-business implementation.We have researched different viewpoints of e-business implementation CSFs. The paper presents an overview of some of existing e-business implementation business models and analyses research about e-business implementation CSFs. Identified CSFs are discussed and linked to the e-business implementation process. Key words: E-business, CSFs, e- business implementation, e-transformation

Background/Purpose: The knowledge-based networked business ecosystem represents a geographical (or virtual) area where specific regional policy initiatives could foster growth and improve innovation, productivity and social aspects through the optimal use of local assets empowered by information and communication systems (ICT). Effective human interaction with ICT within such a regional digital ecosystem depends on access methods, suitability and form of content and knowledge sharing. A network of digital ecosystems, as public common resource, offers to regions and to less-developed areas opportunities to participate in the global economy. Key words: digital ecosystem, regional business digital ecosystem, integrated business information, electronic content management, document management system, knowledge sharing and management;

Background/Purpose: The paper presents the results of empirical research intended to ascertain the level of Slovenian municipal web services. Analysing the municipal websites, we were interested in how many of municipalities perform legal duties by transmitting various documents via the World Wide Web; we observed the state of local e-services evolution and the presence of virtual forums and polls as the most important segments of e-participation. Furthermore, we examined how many municipalities publish their basic contact data and information of various social fields, such as health, economy and educational data on their websites. Slovenian local self-government’s web services are weak, but strongly and positively correlated to the populations of municipalities. Key words: e-government, e-local self-government, municipal website, web services
