Enterprise resource planning (ERP) implementations in multinational manufacturing companies have experienced various degrees of success. This article investigates factors influencing the success of ERP implementations in multinational manufacturing companies in the Malaysian Free Trade Zone. The results indicate that enterprisewide communication and a project management program are key factors influencing the success of ERP implementations, while other factors such as top management support as well as teamwork and composition are not as critical to the outcome. Organizational culture is a moderator of the relationships between enterprise-wide communication, a project management program, and the success of ERP implementations.

Purpose -This paper aims to examine the influence and applications of both the technology acceptance model (TAM) and the diffusion of innovation (DOI) model on the intention to use advanced mobile phone services (AMPS) among Bangladeshi users. It also seeks to examine the moderating role of attitude towards use in the AMPS research model. Design/methodology/approach -This is a quantitative study. A questionnaire was developed from previous studies and data were collected from young people between 18 and 31 years of age in Dhaka, Bangladesh. Regression was employed to test the hypotheses. Findings -The results indicate that perceived usefulness and compatibility are key factors for using AMPS, while other factors such as perceived ease of use and complexity are not as significant. Findings also confirm that attitudes towards use play a moderating role between perceived usefulness/complexity and intention to use AMPS.Research limitations/implications -Future research is required as this paper focuses only on the younger age range in Dhaka, Bangladesh. Practical implications -Findings indicate that AMPS can be used by younger segments of the population if the elements of TAM and DOI theory are emphasised. Originality/value -The paper reinforces the body of knowledge relating to AMPS in the telecommunications industry.

Purpose -This paper aims to investigate the relationship between team learning, top management support (TMS) and new product development (NPD) success. Design/methodology/approach -This is a quantitative research by nature. A questionnaire derived from previous studies and covered by 27 NPD projects in the high-tech semiconductor industry in Malaysia. Stepwise regression was adopted to test hypothesis. Findings -Out of the four independent variables, knowledge acquisition and information interpretation were found to have a signification relationship with NPD success. The findings also confirmed that TMS is a moderator in the relationship between team learning and NPD success.Research limitations/implications -The relationships investigated in this research deserve further investigation. Because the data analyzed were collected from the high-tech semiconductor industry in Malaysia. More studies are required before general conclusion can be drawn. Practical implications -It is reasonable to conclude, on these findings, that NPD can be successful in the high-tech semiconductor industry with given emphasis on team learning and TMS. Originality/value -The paper reinforces the body of knowledge relating to NPD in the high-tech semiconductor industry.

the elements that effectively influence organizational knowledge transfer and found that these are organizational structure, culture, processes, strategy, and information technology.
