Examining the Impact and Factors of Successful ERP Implementations

Abstract

ERP implementation should be considered as an organization-wide project that advantages from the contribution of all stakeholders. The entire ERP lifecycle involve knowledge creation, storage, and sharing. Therefore, lack of an effective knowledge management can devastate the implementation of ERP. Change management needs to understand organization culture as the basis of behaviors and values among employees. The implementing team needs to create a learning organization that is open to ideas and innovation. In addition, the entire ERP project should be an organization-wide project that benefits from the positive contributions of all stakeholders.
