A corporation must consider which of the following factors when selecting its enterprise resources planning...

When selecting an enterprise resources planning (ERP) system, a corporation must consider the unique aspects of its operations, including:

Customization Needs: The ERP system must be adaptable to the specific processes and requirements of the company.

Scalability: The system should support the company's growth and changing operational needs.

Industry-Specific Features: Certain industries may require specialized functionalities that are crucial for operational efficiency.

While corporate profitability (B) is an outcome influenced by many factors, including ERP efficiency, it is not a direct consideration in system selection. MRP and MRP II processing (C) are specific functionalities that an ERP system may include, but they are not the primary selection criteria. Industry benchmarks (D) can provide useful comparative data but do not address the specific needs of the company.
