| Popis: | As small businesses grow in size, they eventually consider transitioning from their existing information system to an enterprise resources planning (ERP). This paper attempts to find the antecedent motivators for such a transition especially as it can be painful, expensive, and involve considerable business risk. This paper examines the business software involved along with an analysis of three case studies involving in ERP transition. The research concludes with a framework that can be used by small or medium businesses to evaluate if they should transition to an ERP system or just move to a more advanced version of the system they have been using. This research offers valuable guidelines to business executives as any ERP considerations are of strategic importance to any organisation. The research also provides new directions for academicians as there are few studies on the true motivators that drive ERP adoption. |
