Business technology complementarities: impacts of the presence and strategic timing of ERP on B2B e-commerce technology efficiencies

The Entrepreneurial Orientation and the Organizational Performance: Do Enterprise Resource Planning Systems Have a Mediating Role? A Study on Dubai Police

“…In the first hypothesis, the impact of EO, however not linked in the previous literature, has a positive and significant effect on ERP at 0.001 level of significant (β=0.585, t= 11.017, p<0.001). In consistence with previous findings of Bendoly and Kaefer (2004), Park, Suh, and Yang (2007), and Poston and Grabski (2001); the second hypothesis supported that ERP has a positive and significant effect on organizational performance at the 0.05 level of significant (β=0.147, t= 1.999, p<0.05). In addition, the third hypothesis also support the argument that EO has a positive and significant effect on organizational performance at 0.001 level of significant (β=0.547, t= 9.167, p<0.001) in line with many studies found that firms with more EO perform better (Wiklund, 1999;Zahra, 1991;Zahra & Covin, 1995).…”

“…Previous studies reported that ERP affected performance positively; however other results showed contradict results (Kang, Park, & Yang, 2008). Bendoly and Kaefer (2004) argued that ERP systems improved performance, while others such as Evan and Bragg (1997), and Laughlin (1999) found that ERP systems raise performance in specific areas. In addition, other studies reported a negative impact of ERP systems on organizational performance because of several critical factors such as education, training top management and commitment, culture, and others.…”

Understanding behavioral sources of process variation following enterprise system deployment

“…Individual tendencies to comply with prescribed usage (e.g., that in which they have been trained during system implementation), and therefore the ways in which said usage will influence organizational form and function, may be difficult to predict when non-prescribed alternatives are clearly available (Boudreau and Robey, 2005). Certainly, given the shared perspective of much of the ES literature -that it has a strong standardizing influence on processes and outcomes (c.f., Davenport, 1998;Lee and Lee, 2000;Scheer and Habermann, 2000;Bendoly, 2001;Light et al, 2001;Razi and Tarn, 2003;Bendoly and Kaefer, 2004;Seely Brown and Hagel, 2004;Trott and Hoecht, 2004) -investigations into the factors influencing such deviations are warranted.…”

Order Lead-Time Improvement following Enterprise Information Technology Implementation: An Empirical Study

“…One such framework draws on the theory of swift, even flow (Schmenner and Swink 1998) to delineate process characteristics affected by ERP deployment (Bendoly 2001;Bendoly and Kaefer 2004). From a general standpoint, the theory of swift, even flow is grounded on a number of wellestablished laws of operational dynamics.…”
