چکیده
The paper examines the impact of absorptive capacity on ERP adoption of the firm. The comprehensive framework of the relationships among absorptive capacity, trust, and knowledge acquisition is addressed and tested empirically. The results of the path analysis confirm that the proposed model is acceptable and seven out of its nine paths such as 1) between absorptive capacity and knowledge acquisition, 2) between absorptive capacity and trust, and 3) between trust and knowledge acquisition, are significant. In spite of several theoretical and methodological limitations, the study proposes several variables have to be considered for effective knowledge acquisition for practitioners. In addition, this paper can invoke the research on the exchange of various knowledge and more empirical tests on trust theoretically.
