The Magnitude of Relative Error, MRE, is probably the most widely used basic metric in common evaluation criteria, e.g. MMRE and PRED, to assess the performance of software prediction models. The implicit rationale of using a relative error measure, rather than an absolute one, is to have a measure that is independent of scale. In this paper, we investigate if this implicit claim holds true usi...

Chinese firms heavily invest in enterprise resource planning systems (ERP) in recent years and expect that ERP can help them gain superior financial performance. Given the high costs and high risk of ERP investments, to quantify the financial benefits of ERP implementation is an important research issue. This paper empirically examines the impacts of ERP implementation on firm performance using...

Enterprise resource planning (ERP) systems are an application software implemented in a great number of manufacturing companies worldwide. The implementation of an ERP system is performed to integrate business processes, allocate company’s resources efficiently and provide important data for decision support. Implementing an ERP system is expensive and time-consuming. A lot of research activiti...

This paper examines the long-term financial performance effects of ERP system changes/revisions for firms that have previously reported ERP adoptions. The study is motivated by the mixed results of recent studies examining the financial effects of ERP systems and by studies which demonstrate that ERP implementations are modular in nature and thus may yield organizational performance gains or lo...

We investigate changes in operational performance that result from enterprise resource planning (ERP) system implementation. A literature-based and theory-driven model was developed to examine the relationship between ERP system implementation status and operational performance. Data were gathered through a field study to test the hypothesized relationships. The results indicate that the implem...

Today, standardised enterprise resource planning (ERP) systems are used in a majority of enterprises. There are many ERP systems with different technologies and philosophies available on the market. Therefore, the need for providing ERP knowledge by teaching the concepts of ERP systems in study courses and above all the possibilities of using these systems themselves in courses are frequently d...

Due to increasing global competition, many enterprises are aware of the benefits of Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP). While the external environments and alliance partnerships facing an enterprise are becoming more complex, executives should consider appropriate partners to enhance efficiency and performance of supply chain management (SCM) as well as to gain potential competitive advantages....

Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) systems pose usability challenges to all but the most sophisticated of users. One challenge arises from complex menu structures that hinder system navigation. Another issue is the lack of support for discovering and exploring relationships between the data elements that underlie transactions performed with the system. We describe two dynamic, interactive visua...

Frequent commentaries in the literature have stated that certain critical success factors (CSFs) have to be accomplished in an organisation for an enterprise resource planning (ERP) system project to be successful. In this study we argue and demonstrate empirically that success in implementing an ERP system and in gaining performance improvement should be conceptualised as two separate dependen...
