Some of the most common problems with implementing ERP system include vendor and risk management, as well as the lack of formal processes for assessing risks by the project manager (Chen, Law, & Yang, 2009).

Wells Fargo has recently been in the spotlight recently for unethical behavior of employees, as well as socially irresponsible behavior at the corporate level. It was recently disclosed that Wells Fargo employees opened up millions of fraudulent accounts, both for banking and credit cards, in the names of unsuspecting customers (Bryan, 2016a).

Sales goals were attached to incentives for employees, so motivation was provided to employees that had the means to commit these fraudulent actions. Soon after these revelations came to the public’s attention, it was also discovered that Wells Fargo was violating laws and regulations regarding…
