Reflective writing (Author’s name) (Institutional Affiliation) Date
(Insert surname) 2 Introduction Reflection offers a chance to consider how one’s personal experiences and interpretations form one’s thinking and acceptance of new ideas. 1 This form of writing encourages a person to explore his/her own ideas about a text, to express one’s opinion rather than summarizing the opinions of others. Reflection of an article can help one improve their analytical skills because it requires one to express what he/she thinks and more importantly, how and why they think that way. This article recounts a study on an empirical investigation concerning knowledge management competencies through the face of enterprise resource planning (ERP) systems and their success based on the insights from Jordan.2 The authors note that the primary objectives of the study were to empirically examine the positive relationships between the mentioned competencies of knowledge management with the extended enterprise resource planning system constructs that are based on aspects such as individual, workgroup and organizational impacts and the quality of the systems. In the introductory phase of the article, the authors briefly described how the success of various organizations has been well linked to the application of knowledge. The ERP systems have been shown to integrate an institution’s processes and functions, therefore, becoming a vital resource in the manufacturing and production processes. The authors also noted the existence of knowledge management frameworks by the works of Chan and Rosemann who analyzed the significant roles knowledge types plays in the life cycle of ERP. 3This journal of research of 2016 has described the knowledge management competencies such as knowledge creation, retention, transfer, and application and provided, 1 Williams, Kate, Mary Woolliams, and Jane Spiro. 2012.Reflective Writing.

(Insert surname) 3 through a research model, the ERP success system that also includes individual, institutional, and workgroup impact with other aspects of information, system and consultancy quality. In this article, the authors have employed the system knowledge management framework where they mutually agreed on the elements of a system as part of an objective that is oriented to the achievement of the mutual purpose. I find this framework relevant to the article as it conforms to the fact that all elements in a system have to fit together to be effective as well as using the systems approach or understanding its behavior through system thinking. This has been shown in the article where the authors outlined the application of knowledge by an individual or institution to the solving of their glitches at all levels of the organization. In knowledge management, exploitation and exploration strategies in knowledge have considered some issues in the exploitation of disposable knowledge and exploration of new knowledge which has a relation to the impact of knowledge an organization needs. 4I find these strategies very useful in this article as it has helped the authors in explaining the role knowledge plays in ERP system success measurements hence integrating the theoretical frameworks in this writing with those systems that evaluate the flexibility of any organization. I find the article well researched and credible since it is clearly focused, organized appropriately, mechanically sound and fully developed. The authors have addressed their main idea and outlined it clearly by presenting their claims, opinions, and positions on a narrow topic. The organization is clearly shown by the introduction, body paragraphs and a well-written conclusion where each paragraph describes an aspect of the general topic and concludes with a transition sentence to the subsequent paragraph. In my opinion, this article will leave readers with a sense of having a complete understanding of the discussion on the topic since it consists 4 Hyland, Ken, and Giuliana Diani. 2012.Academic Evaluation.
