Editorial Review:
Written by a team of industry-leading experts, SAP R/3 Implementation Guide guides managers through the implementation of this powerful system. This book provides a real-life perspective that can help you avoid common pitfalls encountered when implementing SAP. It shows you how SAP will impact your business and, more specifically, your customers, material suppliers, and distributors. It explains why many SAP projects fail or run over budget and time. And, managers will gain a better understanding of the advantages and disadvantages of SAP and become proficient with all of its intricacies.
Description of SAP(R) R/3 Implementation Guide:
Author and consultant Bradley D. Hiquet puts a new and much-needed shine on the old technology-reference-book model in SAP R/3 Implementation Guide: A Manager's Guide to Understanding SAP. Instead of forcing readers down the tedious but often necessary path of configuration commands, Hiquet chronicles the fictional journey of ElectroTech, a manufacturer of industrial electrical components and factory automation products, through its SAP R/3 implementation and rollout. Except for the book's first section, which deftly handles the requisite company, target market, and application overview, the rest is dedicated to this gigantic composite case study.
Assisted by real-life consultants at Conley, Canitano, and Associates, Inc., Hiquet has constructed the book to first address the myriad tribulations of ElectroTech's various departments, followed by an explanation of how implementing the cross-departmental SAP R/3 application can theoretically solve the problems. This approach is extremely effective. First, it provides specific examples of how antiquated and disjointed computing systems can adversely affect productivity and profitability. And second, it puts a human face on the issues. The book wraps up with a brief but informative chapter that outlines pragmatic, time-tested methods to help companies prepare for and successfully complete a SAP R/3 implementation. Sarah L.

SAP(R) R/3 Implementation Guide Reviews:
Excellent final user manual 
2000-07-28 - In few words: If you are not a SAP consultant (and you are not expected to be so) and you need to take up working on SAP as a final user next monday: read this book. On monday, this easy to read book, will allow you to show off as an experienced SAP user. The explantions "on the screen" showed by the book let you directly to the outcome you are looking for: to easily perform usual tasks in order entering, price updating, production planning, and so on.
Pow-Wow!
1999-08-08 - By the time I finished CHAPTER 6 (no worries, they are all very short chapters), I feel as if I have used SAP! It's amazingly simple (yet comprehensive) in its explanation and you don't need to be a technological buff to understand SAP/ this book! Highly recommends this INCREDIBLE book to all out there who have always wanted to know about SAP but have no experience with it!
Also provides very precise step-to-step guide with pictures of the SAP dialogue box. Whoa!
Simple enough for the basics of SAP 
1999-07-08 - This book is excellent as an introductory guide that covers most of the modules with graphic illustration. It is useful if you are a new user to SAP or an experience consultant to prepare your training materials. Since the books covers version 3.x, I am expecting a new edition for version 4.x. As usual, this book is weak in IMG (Implementation Guide).
It's good for beginners.
1999-01-20 - I loved the contents of this book and the way in which it is presented. Its a good book that starts from the easiest part and increases the level upto implementation. The examples given in the book about business are self-explainetary.
Concise guidence in executing business processes
1998-12-25 - One of the best books in the market that clearly describes execution of the step by step business processes in very simple language using a real life-like scenario. The book also provides an excellent overview of IMG. I would strongly urge the auther to consider writing books for individual functionalities, i.e., MM, QM, etc. with greater detail.
