The study uses cross-sectional research design with snowball sampling method and data were collected using online survey method. Some of the findings, including all three leadership styles (transformational, transactional, and laissez-faire), significantly contribute to ERP implementation success and in turn impact firm performance. Transformational leadership style of change agent is found to have the highest impact on firm performance with ERP implementation acting as a partial mediator.
