PurposeEmployment and performance of enterprise resource planning (ERP) systems process is a technical‐social change affecting strategic and operational levels of a company and therefore its performance will fulfil expected productivity of the organization using these systems. Therefore, it is necessary to examine effective factors in ERP acceptance before its performance. This study aims to investigate the effective factors in ERP acceptance.Design/methodology/approachThis research considered 14 key effective factors in ERP acceptance in LME companies. The research method was descriptive and a survey was carried out. In order to obtain the research goals statistical methods, descriptive‐deductive, have been utilized in this study. The author used the Friedman test to score research variables and the Mann‐Whitney test to examine the current gap between manufacturing‐service companies.FindingsThe results of the research indicate the acceptance of ERP in the integration of applications, integration of information systems, increase in demands for real and on‐time information, information generation for decision‐making and ultimately for costs.Originality/valueThe paper provides useful information on employment and performance of ERP systems.
The intricacies of economic activities and growing increase in competition have made commercial units with the duty of production and financial data processing, orienting themselves with production cycle. This is considered as the heart of organization such that they could be more effective in decision-making. The method adopted in this research is descriptive -survey and it attempts to attain the objectives the researchers based on four independent variables including Production design, Programming, production operations and cost accounting. To test the hypotheses, the study adopts one sample T test method and to investigate uniformity of effects of each variable, Kruscal-Wallis test is employed. The results obtained from the tests indicate that AISs are not compatible with production cycle, where, in turn, has led to rejection of modern costing systems such as activity based costing (ABC).
Firms competing in competitive markets face some technological changes and more demands of customers as the competition grows based on market globalization. All these changes affect firms' management accounting systems. This leads firms to change their management accounting system in which some factors make delay in the process of management accounting changes. We have considered seven factors which make delay in management accounting changes. This research tries to study these factors. Research method in this study is descriptive-survey in which researcher has been benefited from questionnaire and interview techniques. In questionnaire testing, Friedman test has been used to exam the uniformity of variables and then kruskal-wallis test to evaluate the effect of firm size on research independent variables. Research findings show a broad uniformity of the effects of research seven independent variables and then the results of Kruskal -Wallis test indicate the effects of all variables on management related Problems except for the variable No, 4.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
