“…Thus, ERP informativeness can be defined as the extent to which an ERP system provides its users with the information they need to complete their job activities. As noted earlier, businesses implement ERP systems not only to replace the fragmented legacy systems dispersed throughout their organizational units, but also to consolidate all business data from disconnected databases into a central database to improve delivery of critical information to users, improve data consistency, and increases visibility of corporate data (Ram et al, 2013;Somers, Nelson, & Karimi, 2003). Based on the notion that the need for information drives peoples' use of a technology (Alajmi et al, 2016), the extent to which an ERP system can fulfill the information needs of its users is critical to the success of an ERP system.…”

“…With respect to ERP systems, Longinidis and Gotzamani (2009) maintain that an ERP that provides helpful and accurate information increases users' satisfaction. Finally, information quality has demonstrated strong influence on user acceptance, system use, and user satisfaction and contributes to shaping the users intention to use ERP systems (Ram et al, 2013). As noted above, the research by Hsu et al (2015) revealed that information quality had significant positive effects on satisfaction with ERP system.…”

“…Despite the substantial and still growing body of literature on users' acceptance and utilization of ERP systems, the causes of ERP under-utilization and failure are still poorly understood (Calisir & Calisir, 2004;Ram et al, 2013;Shih, 2006). Moreover, the majority of past ERP acceptance studies have relied heavily on the technology acceptance model (TAM) (Davis, 1989) as a theoretical framework (e.g.…”

“…The main benefits of ERP systems include enhancing decision-making, streamlining operations, accelerating fulfillment of customer orders, improving information visibility, flow, and accessibility throughout the business. When ERP systems are fully-utilized, they can increase employees' productivity and organizational efficiency and effectiveness (Coulson, Olfman, Ryan, & Shayo, 2010;Ram, Corkindale, & Wu, 2013;Zabukovsek & Bobek, 2013). Unfortunately, the organizational adoption and implementation of ERP systems do not automatically guarantee the desired improvements in business competitiveness.…”

Aim/PurposeThis study aims to provide a better understanding of individual acceptance of enterprise resource (ERP) systems. Based on the uses and gratifications theory (UGT) and informing science theory, the study developed and empirically tested a research model to explain the effects of ERP characteristics (specifically, informativeness and enjoyment) on ERP acceptance and use. Background Individual acceptance of ERP systems is crucial for achieving the benefits associated with ERP systems. Unfortunately, little research has focused on acceptance of ERP systems at the individual level. This study attempts to fill this void. Methodology A survey questionnaire was distributed to ERP users to collect data to empirically test the research model developed in this study. In addition to demographic and background information question, the survey contained instruments to measure the study variables. ContributionThe empirical results show that UGT provides a sound theoretical framework for explaining users' gratifications, attitudes, and behavioral intentions toward adopting and using an ERP. These results support the view that subsumes information systems and other fields that endeavor to inform their audience. Findings Individuals' perceptions of the informativeness and entertainment of ERP systems demonstrated strong direct effects on attitude toward using and satisfaction with ERP systems. In turn, satisfaction with ERP systems showed a direct significant impact on intention to use an ERP system. Recommendations for PractitionersMaintaining a favorable environment and designing training workshops that highlight the information and enjoyment aspects of an ERP can boost users' perceptions of ERP informativeness and enjoyment and, eventually, improve their attitude and satisfaction with an ERP. Recommendation for ResearchersResearchers should test the proposed research model with other types of ERP systems and in different environments to enhance the generalizability of the results to other systems and settings.

PurposeThe paper adopts an institutional theory perspective to investigate the adoption of ERP systems by medium sized firms in India. The rationale for this study is to provide a more complete understanding of ERP adoption, moving beyond the traditional technical and economic perspectives to include social, cultural and structural influences. These later influences are more implicit, insidious and pervasive and hence require elucidatory studies such as this, but offer a greater understanding of the adoption of IS. Design/methodology/approachThe study is undertaken by means of nine case studies of medium sized firms in India that have adopted ERP systems. Qualitative interviews were undertaken with a range of staff in each firm and are supplemented by data from other sources such as site visit notes. FindingsInstitutionally based studies have tended to focus on three high-level isomorphic pressures: coercive, normative and mimetic. The study identifies number of more detailed factors that contribute to each of these three pressures. These more detailed factors are then used to consider how factors interact in the Indian context of the study. Originality/ValueThe conceptual contribution of this study is to move beyond the technical and economic rationales frequently identified for the adoption of IS by identifying influences that are social, cultural and structural in nature. The study shows that the three high level isomorphic pressures, mimetic, coercive and normative are comprised of more detailed factors. The empirical contribution of the paper is to identify these detailed factors, and to explore their influence, in the case of ERP adoption by Indian medium-sized firms. The study is of value to practitioners, since it is at the detailed level of factors that managers can recognize the forces they are subject to and can take action. It is also valuable to researchers since the detailed factors help address two limitations of institutional theory; a lack of agency perspective and a degree of conceptual ambiguity.

Nowadays enterprise resource planning (ERP) systems are crucial for each company to automate and manage its business seamlessly and possess a competitive advantage.This paper was conducted with the purpose of determining which ERP capabilities categorized in IT capabilities, including integration, information access, IT skills and agility, and organizational capabilities including qualified human resources, top management support can affect decision-making efficiency and competitive advantage types (low cost advantage and/or differentiation advantage), it also examines the impact of decision-making efficiency on competitive advantage types. The problem of this paper is summarized in the uncertainty of the relationship between ERP capabilities and competitive advantage, as well as the absence of studies in this field. So, a survey was applied on 162 companies in Dakahlia Governorate, Egypt in order to investigates the impact of ERP capabilities on low-cost advantage, differentiation advantage, and decision making efficiency, in order to determine whether each category of ERP capabilities can affect any competitive advantage type and decision-making efficiency in itself or they must be combined with each other to occur impact, and finally examine the decision making efficiency impact on competitive advantage types.
