Abstract This paper is intended to investigate the extent to which board interlocks contribute to the diffusion of ERP technologies in an interlocked network. Controlling for size, we investigate the effect of two network characteristics on the adoption decision of enterprise systems by organizations: the exposure of a firm to other adopters and the centrality of a firm within an interlocked network. In order to test our models, we gathered board members data of the top 1,000 Canadian public firms and recorded adoption decisions within this network through the analysis of ERP announcements using keywords co-location. Our research findings suggest evidence of the diffusion of ERP technologies in interlocked networks. Résumé Cet article vise à déceler jusqu " à quel point les conseils d'administration croisés contribuent à la diffusion de progiciels de gestion intégrés dans un réseau imbriqué. Nous étudions, en tenant compte de la taille des réseaux, l'effet de deux de leurs caractéristiques sur la décision d'adopter des systèmes d'entreprise par des organismes : l'exposition d'une société à d'autres adopteurs et sa centralité au sein d " un réseau imbriqué. Afin d'examiner nos modèles, nous avons recueilli des données des membres de conseils d " administration des 1 000 plus importantes sociétés publiques canadiennes et avons consigné l " information relative aux décisions d'adoption dans ce réseau. Nous avons ensuite analysé les annonces d'implantation de progiciels de gestion intégrés en utilisant la recension synchronisée de mots clés. Nos résultats suggèrent des évidences quant à la diffusion des progiciels de gestion intégrés par le biais des administrateurs de liaison.
