A Contigency Approach for Implementing Enterprise Resource Planning Systems

전사적 자원 계획(ERP) 시스템의 구현을 위한 상황적 접근

This paper reports on a contingency framework for selecting the most appropriate strategy to implement the enterprise Resource Planning(ERP) system in an organization. The two dimensions of our framework are information technology level and culture level of organization. For each of the four contingencies, we recommend a desirable implementation strategy, based on scope and pace of the implementation effort. ERP implementation data from ten organizations were analyzed to validate the proposed framework.
