“…It is part of SCM that manages the efficient and effective flow and storage of goods, services, and information from origin to consumption (Singh & Verma, 2018). It is also a key element of SCM that avoids supply disruptions and stock-outs by ordering the optimal amount and time while reducing storage and financing costs (Wang et al, 2022). Inventory management improves financial performance and competitiveness by saving costs in logistics activities.…”

The purpose of this research is to explore how a common IT system is used to manage inventory, and to identify the factors and challenges that affect the decision and implementation of IT adoption in inventory management.Design/methodology/approach: The methodology of this research consists of two parts: a literature review and primary research. The literature review synthesizes the existing studies on IT adoption in inventory management and provides a theoretical framework for the analysis. The primary is based on qualitative research design which involves conducting in-depth interviews with four inventory managers who use different IT systems across various industries. The interviews are transcribed and coded, and the data are analysed using thematic analysis and cross-case comparison. Findings:The findings of this study show that inventory managers adopt IT mainly to reduce costs and increase efficiency, which aligns with the literature. However, they also encounter challenges such as skill competencies and resistance to change, which hamper the successful implementation of IT. Moreover, the findings reveal that the type of IT system and the industry context may have an impact on the outcomes of IT adoption. Specifically, the inventory managers who use ERP, such as SAP, experienced more benefits and fewer difficulties, and the inventory managers who work in manufacturing and retail industries face more complex and dynamic inventory situations than those who work in service and education industries. These findings suggest that IT adoption in inventory management is not a one-size-fits-all solution, but rather a context-dependent and system-specific process that requires careful planning and evaluation. Research implications and limitations:This study offers practical insights and recommendations for inventory managers and IT developers who seek to improve their inventory management practices and systems. It also highlights the importance of IT for enhancing supply chain management and operational performance, which is a key goal of inventory management. However, this study is limited by the small and self-reported sample and the focus on two common IT systems. Future research could use larger and more diverse samples, multiple data sources, and different IT systems. Originality: This study addresses the research question of how IT is used to manage inventory, and what factors and challenges affect the decision and implementation of IT adoption in inventory management. It adds to the literature on IT adoption in inventory management by comparing multiple case studies with different IT systems and industries. It reveals the common and unique factors and challenges that influence IT adoption and suggests practical implications for inventory managers and IT developers.

PurposeThe present study shows that the implementation and development of enterprise resource planning (ERP) systems as a technological innovation provide a competitive advantage that helps to improve the functionality of business intelligence (BI) systems in the digital transformation of manufacturing companies, in addition to improving overall firm performance.Design/methodology/approachThe research uses the structural equation approach based on PLS-SEM technique with a sample of 120 firms in the manufacturing industry in Coahuila, Mexico.FindingsThe paper provides empirical insights into how the interaction of ERP systems and innovation significantly affects the functionality of BI Systems and has a substantial effect on overall firm performance.Originality/valueEmpirical evidence of how advanced digital management systems (ERP and BI) impact digitalization processes in organizations by improving performance is still scarce.

The development and implementation of information systems strategy in multi-national corporations (MNCs) faces particular challenges—cultural differences and variations in work values and practices across different countries, numerous technology landscapes and legacy issues, language and accounting particularities, and differing business models. This article builds upon the existing literature and in-depth interviews with eighteen industry practitioners employed in six MNCs to construct an operational model to address these challenges. The research design is based on an inductive, qualitative approach that develops an initial conceptual framework—derived from the literature—into an operational model, which is then applied and refined in a case study company. The final model consists of change components and process phases. Six change components are identified that drive and underpin IS strategy—business strategy, systems projects, technology infrastructure, process change, skills and competencies, and costs and benefits. Five core process phases are recognized—review, align, engage, execute, and control. The model is based on the interaction between these two dimensions—change components and process phases—and an action list is also developed to support the application of the model, which contributes to the theory and practice of information systems deployment in MNCs.
