Modelling of Critical Success Factors Affecting the Adoption of Enterprise Resources Planning: A mediated Model (original) (raw)
Related papers
The ERP system has been the subject of much academic discussion in recent times. The impact that a successful implementation can have on an organization cannot be overstated. The factors which are crucial to the successful implementation of an ERP system are commonly known as Critical Success Factors (hereinafter CSFs). This study investigated the CSFs that play a crucial role during the implementation process in Omani organizations. Moreover, it identified the CSFs that are most important in ensuring a successful ERP system implementation. The survey was distributed to 35 enterprises using an ERP system. The managers of those enterprises identified 10 CSFs as the most important.
Critical Success Factors for Erp Implementation: Insights from a Middle-Eastern Country
2011
The purpose of this paper is to explore the critical success factors (CSFs) of enterprise resource planning (ERP) system implementation in context of the developing countries. A survey questionnaire including the list and brief description of 17 CSFs of ERP implementation was designed and distributed among ERP adopter companies in Iran. Operational/functional/unit managers' perception about the criticality of these 17 CSFs was examined using frequency analysis and t-student test. All the 17 CSF were identified as significant factors for the successful ERP implementation in Iranian companies. Besides, comparative analysis of ou r findings indicated that results are consistent with findings of six prior researches in developing countries. The paper appears to be the first study to focus on the CSFs of ERP implementation in Iran. This research thus adds to the growing body of knowledge on CSFs of ERP implementations in developing countries. This may act as a starting point for more...
Challenges and influential factors in ERP adoption and implementation
2010
The adoption and implementation of Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) systems is a challenging and expensive task that not only requires rigorous efforts but also demands to have a detailed analysis of such factors that are critical to the adoption or implementation of ERP systems. Many efforts have been made to identify such influential factors for ERP; however, they are not filtered comprehensively in terms of the different perspectives.
In order to survive in a rapidly changing business environment, Malaysian business firms must improve their own business practices and procedures through Information System. This paper describes the impact of Critical Success Factors (CSFs) during the Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) system implementations using the responses from 151 organizations that completed or are in the process of completing an ERP implementation and identifying the key benefits of ERP implementation in the firm. The importance of these factors was investigated within Malaysian companies using questionnaire survey method. Our results provide advice to management on how best to utilize their limited resources to choose those CSFs that are most likely to have an impact upon the implementation of the ERP system.

Implementing an Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) system project is a difficult and high cost proposition as it places tremendous demands on organization's time and resources. The ERP implementation literature contains many case studies of organizations that have implemented ERP systems successfully. However, many organizations do not achieve success in their ERP implementation projects. Much has been written about implementation and the critical success factors for ERP implementation projects. But there very few studies have scientifically developed and tested constructs that represent critical success factors of ERP implementation projects. Based on a survey of 53 organizations in Australia, the results suggest that a 65 item instrument that measures seven dimensions of ERP implementation is well -validated. It is argued that model proposed in the paper is valuable to researchers and practitioners interested in implementing Enterprise Resource Planning systems.

The focus of enterprise resource planning (ERP) adoption among Higher Education Institutions (HEIs) has attracted the interest of many Information System (IS) researchers. As a result of its great business values, the adoption of ERP solution is increasingly growing within HEIs. However, very limited studies have focused their attention towards understanding the determinants of ERP adoption among HEIs, especially in Egypt. Furthermore, the adoption of ERP systems in Egypt is still in the beginning stage with no many adopters among HEIs. Therefore, this study aims to fill in the gap by investigating technological, organizational and environmental (TOE) framework among HEIs. Accordingly, the objective of this research paper is mainly trying to introduce a conceptualized research model that can be used to examine ERP adoption among HEIs. This article contributes to the development of theoretical framework of the ERP adoption to explain the competitive advantage within HEIs by using TOE framework. The current study will provide guidelines to ERP providers, the government, and HEIs in Egypt to accelerate ERP adoption.
ERP adoption factors: the effect of institutional- and economic-based theory
2013
The introduction of the Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) system in the early 1990s was perceived as a new way of managing a business that could lead to better management of an organisation and improve its efficiency. However, studies have repeatedly reported a low success rate in ERP system adoption. This encouraged various research studies that sought to uncover factors that could have contributed to the system failure. A poor decision-making process has been stated as one of the main reasons for ERP system failure. Clear objectives and good justification could, we believe, increase the ERP system adoption success rate. Hence, in this study, we extend the existing research on ERP by exploring the effect of institutional pressures and economic benefits on the decision-making process of the management. Specifically, we investigate the influence of external pressures and internal needs in ERP adoption decisions. Empirical analyses in this study are based on survey data obtained from...
To ERP or not to ERP? Factors influencing the adoption decision
International Journal of Management and Enterprise Development, 2008
Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) systems have mainly been discussed concerning their implementation. A theory-driven, quantitative approach to ERP adoption is rare, especially for Midsized Enterprises (MEs). This paper aims to fill this gap by identifying factors in the areas of technology, organisation and environment, generally known to be part of such managerial decision-making. Nine hypotheses have been derived from literature and tested among Dutch MEs in the electrical, engineering and metal industries. The results of our empirical study show that ERP adoption by MEs is most significantly explained by competitive pressure and the compatibility of the software configuration with the firm's business processes.
Organizational adoption of enterprise resource planning systems: A conceptual framework
The Journal of High Technology Management Research, 2007
Although Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) systems are being used widely all around the world, they bring along many problems as well as benefits. Most of these implementations are failures and inadequate adoption is just one of the failure factors. This study provides an extensive review of the literature resulting in a taxonomy that may be used for other researchers in the field. The study also defines a framework for organizational adoption of ERP systems. The model consists of core Technology Acceptance Model (TAM) variables (perceived ease of use of ERP system and perceived usefulness), satisfaction and common actors of an ERP project: technology, user, organization and project management.
