This paper develops a model of firm operational performance in the aftermath of an ERP implementation based upon subjects’ perceptions. We obtained a unique set of data for 198 public Chinese manufacturing companies involved in enterprise resource planning (ERP) implementations from 1993 to 2006. We collected fundamental data from a survey of these companies, and then analysed their ERP impleme...

It is generally recognised that event related potentials (ERPs) of electroencephalogram (EEG) primarily reflect summed post-synaptic activity of the local pyramidal neural population(s). However, it is still not understood how the positive and negative deflections (e.g. P1, N1 etc) observed in ERP recordings are related to the underlying excitatory and inhibitory post-synaptic activity. We inve...

BACKGROUND/AIMS By contrast with animal models, in most cases it is not possible to examine the systemic response in patients in the first hours after onset of acute pancreatitis. The aim was to determine whether endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreaticography (ERP)-induced pancreatitis can be used as a human model for the study of cytokine release and acute phase response in the first hours o...

This paper examines the determinants of success during the post-implementation stage of ERP systems and identifies drivers that contribute to successful implementations. The present study employs past literature to identify important factors and utilizes a qualitative research approach in validating their potential importance in successful ERP system implementations. Insights from the analysis ...

Current IS research regarding ERP implementation stops short at system ‘start-up’ and does not address post-implementation issues. In fact, ERP implementation is a continuous improvement effort and continued work after system start-up will largely influence the ultimate success of an ERP system. This paper contributes a four-phase ERP continuous improvement model that incorporates knowledge man...

The capability of an individual to absorb knowledge about enterprise resource planning (ERP) is a critical element in the development of an organisation’s absorptive capacity (ACAP) during assimilation phase of ERP. Prior research have tended to overlook the roles that individuals play in identify external and internal knowledge, assimilate and exploit ERP knowledge. By defining ACAP at the ind...

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 ...

In today's competitive market, Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) system is widely being used by industries. However, the results of the research efforts carried out in this field reveal that the rate of successful implementations for ERP projects is low and in most cases the planned goals are not achieved. Therefore it is necessary to assess maturity of an enterprise in terms of factors affect...

Like any IT project, the intricacy of Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) implementations brings with it high risks to the organization because of high upfront costs and low success rates. ERP implementations are not simply software installations but a radical integration and transformation of an organization’s business practices. System acceptance and perceptions of success weight heavily on no...
