Type: article
Abstract: Enterprise Resource Planning systems constitute a phenomenon of relevant dimension in the current business world and have been provoking radical changes in the market and in the administration ofinformation technology. This article analyses problems, limitations and new perspectives of the implementation of ERP (Enterprise Resource Planning) in the organizations, through a parallel between selected ideas of Winograd and Flores’ classical work Understanding Computers and Cognition: a new foundation for design (1986), and the criticisms recently arisen to the implementation of these technologies. Criticisms and Winograd & Flores ideas are grouped in major themes. Central concerns are: the meaning of knowledge, as associated to ERP; the conditions to changes be made in a compatible way within its context; the problems of integration of ERP to cultural universe, processes and actions of the organizations. These concerns guided largely the choice of Winograd and Flores as reference for this essay. Almost 20 years after its publication, this work stays as influential exemple of how to recognize, in technological subjects, opportunities for the understanding of fundamental human and social processes
