چکیده
The implementation of enterprise resource planning (ERP) systems has been known to be much more difficult than the development of a computer application supporting a single business function. In this article, the researcher presents a case study of an ERP system implementation by a medium company in Ethiopia. Mesfine Industrial Engineering (MIE) Pvt. Ltd. is a vast unrivalled metal construction and electromechanical engineering in Ethiopia, and has recently adopted and implemented an ERP system. The paper examines key dimensions of implementation of ERP system within MIE and takes an in-depth look at the issues behind the process of ERP implementation by focusing on business and technical as well as cultural issues at the heart of the MIE implementation. The case study also looks at the implementation risks and reports how MIE coped with the typical challenges that most medium organizations face when implementing an ERP system. © 2012 Published by Elsevier Ltd.
