It has been widely reported that a large number of ERP implementations fail to meet expectations. This is indicative, firstly, of the magnitude of the problems involved in ERP systems implementation and, secondly, of the importance of the ex-ante evaluation and selection process of ERP software. This paper argues that ERP evaluation should extend its scope beyond operational improvements arisin...

Most leading organizations, in all sectors of industry, commerce and government are dependent upon ERP for their organizational survival. Yet despite the importance of the decision to adopt ERP, IS research has so far neglected to comprehensively study the evaluation of ERP systems in general, and the impact of individual characteristics of IS managers on the ERP acquisition decision in particu...

Selecting ERP software is a key strategy for enterprises to fully succeed in ERP practice. In this paper, the problem of Chinese medium-sized and small enterprises software selection is a lack of scientific and reliable choosing method, which is mentioned firstly. By combining the features of medium-sized and small enterprises, a special ERP software valuation index system is established based ...

Companies have been investing in integrated enterprise applications (such as ERP) for over a decade, without firm evidence of a return from these investments. Much research has centred on the factors which will lead to a successful implementation project (eg: Holland and Light, 1999; Shanks and Seddon, 2000), but to date there appears to be little research on the longer term impact of ERP syste...

The information technology (IT) management has become one of the critical factors that enterprises want to assess the business benefits and performances of ERP systems. This research tries to evaluate the relationship between ERP continuous investment and technical efficiency by using DEA approach. This study also utilizes the Tobit regression to investigate the relationship between efficiency ...

The purpose of this paper is to explore the relationship between some implementation variables and performance improvement of ERP systems. DeLone and McLean (1992) surveyed 180 articles attempting to measure information systems (IS) success and proposed an analysis framework, composed of six dimensions, for assessing the ERP performance in the post-implementation stage. In this paper, DeLone-&M...

Several converging lines of evidence suggest that the anterior cingulate cortex (ACC) is selectively involved in error detection or evaluation of poor performance. Here we challenge this notion by presenting event-related potential (ERP) evidence that the feedback-elicited error-related negativity, an ERP component attributed to the ACC, can be elicited by positive feedback when a person is exp...

The study uses a project retrospective approach to study the implementation of ERP within eight SME’s (small and mid-sized enterprises). A project retrospective is designed to assess project performance, to identify lessons learned, and to measure success. The findings report (1) ERP project management , (2) ERP project timeline, (3) Lessons learned, (4) Risk factors, including adequacy of skil...
