چکیده
Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) was originally meant for large enterprises (LEs), hence most attention on ERP research focuses on LEs. However, ERP vendors have diverted their attention also to small and medium sized enterprises (SMEs) in order to cater for their needs. This paper presents a systematic mapping study of ERP in the context of SMEs. The study concentrated on the ERP adoption and implementation issues that have already been studied and identified gaps where further research is needed. It also investigated what research methodologies have been employed in the studies.
