“…This might be connected with the fact that they are aware of their insufficient knowledge and experience as regards ES adoption management and the resulting necessity of external help. In general, ES adopters in transition economies expect higher levels of external support and deepened relationships with the system and implementation services provider [2,74].…”

This paper examines barriers to the successful implementation of enterprise systems (ES) in a transition economy setting, i.e. an economy in transition from a communist style central planning to a free market system. Drawing from the experience of 184 Polish ES practitioners, barriers are identified, categorized, and subjected to stakeholder analysis. The findings are then examined in relation to issues reported by prior research conducted in developed countries. The main findings indicate clearly that the most critical barriers ES adopters experience in transition economies are connected with people and also emphasize the need to incorporate multiple stakeholder perspectives, both internal and external, in order to gain full insight into ES adoption. The paper ends with conclusions and recommendations for researchers and practitioners.

“…The entry of foreign companies greatly increased the competition and the fast pace of economic liberalization caused frequent changes in the regulatory environment resulting in a turbulent business environment (Bernroider, Sudzina, & Pucihar, 2011;Roztocki & Weistroffer, 2011;Soja, 2011;Themistocleous, Soja, & da Cunha, 2011). Even though the formal barriers were removed, the traditions and cultural barriers continue to exist alongside the scarcity of resources (Roztocki & Weistroffer, 2011;Soja, 2011).…”

“…With the transition to a market economy, the use of ICT has changed and ICT may compensate for an underdeveloped infrastructure and lack of resources to some extent. ICT has become the catalyst for change and is vital for successful companies in transition economies expanding into new markets (Bernroider et al, 2011;Roztocki & Weistroffer, 2011).…”

In transition economies, information and communication technology (ICT) is vital for successful companies and may compensate for an underdeveloped infrastructure and lack of resources. The development of complex ICT systems requires skilled ICT professionals who are often difficult to acquire. In this paper, we address this specific issue of transition economies and propose a novel global software development approach that aims to compensate for the lack of skilled ICT professionals by outsourcing independent development tasks globally to remote developers. The proposed approach was empirically tested in a pilot study at three different locations at University of Ljubljana in Slovenia. The test demonstrated the feasibility of the approach and indicated that task specification quality and developer skills are important success factors. The findings of the pilot study are primarily relevant for software development companies in transition economies even though the approach may also be applicable in other settings where lack of locally accessible skilled ICT professionals is present.

“…Also, ES adopters in transition economies appear to place greater emphasis on phased ES deployments and expect higher levels of external support (Bernroider et al, 2011). The importance of interaction between the adopting organization and the external parties also refers to the pre-implementation phase.…”

The main goal of this study is to investigate similarities and differences between impediments to enterprise system (ES) implementation in transition and developed economies. The adopted research approach incorporates the system lifecycle and seeks to examine how the difficulties change across the lifecycle phases. The research builds on the opinions of ES practitioners from Poland, a transition economy from Central and Eastern Europe. The main findings illustrate that difficulties experienced by ES adoptions in developed economies seem to concentrate on the project phase where implementation activities are carried out whereas in Polish companies problems tend to span through all the lifecycle phases. The results also suggest that in transition economies practitioners have to deal mostly with system-related issues across the whole lifecycle. In developed economies, on the contrary, the shift from system-related to business-related problems throughout the system lifecycle is observed.
