“…In order to better understand and evaluate the acquisition and selection process, many studies identified the factors that affect ERP selection in SMEs, and proposed criteria to optimize the selection process. Results show that internal organizational factors like business complexity, change management, and external factors like supply chain partners, and the pressure of value networks affects the ERP selection process in Greek SMEs [36][37][38]. While other research conducted in Australian SMEs, suggest that cost drivers, functional requirements, flexibility, and scalability of the ERP system [41], and the degree of ERP alignment/fit with the business processes [40] have a great influence on acquisition decisions.…”

This review su mmarizes research on enterprise resource planning (ERP) systems within the domain of small and mediu m-size enterprises (SMEs). Due to the close-to-saturation of ERP adoptions in large enterprises (LEs), ERP vendors now focus more on SM Es. Moreover, because of globalization, partnerships, value networks, and the huge informat ion flow across and within SM Es nowadays, mo re and mo re SM Es are adopting ERP systems. Risks of adoption rely on the fact that SM Es have limited resources and specific characteristics that make their case different fro m LEs. The main purpose of this article is to shed the light on the areas that lack sufficient research within the ERP in SM Es do main, suggest future research avenues, as well as, present the current research findings that could aid practitioners, suppliers, and SM Es when embarking on ERP p rojects. Moreover, this research highlights the theories, frameworks, and research approaches and methods currently adopted in ERP for SM Es literature.

Saturation is visible in ERP implementation in large enterprises but has huge potential in SMEs. With SMEs impacting large portion of economy, the focus has shifted to globalization, building partnerships, developing value networks, and managing the huge information flow across and within SMEs nowadays. Due to rising business demands, SMEs are adopting ERP systems and the vendors now focus more on implementing ERP in SMEs for effective information management. The current study summarizes research on enterprise resource planning (ERP) systems implementation within the domain of small and medium-size enterprises (SMEs). The SMEs suffer from resource poverty which increases the risk of ERP adoption. SMEs are structured very distinctively compared to LEs, thus the ERP implementation model, practices, and methodologies are different from Les and should be perceived differently. The main purpose of this article is to observe the areas that lack sufficient research within the ERP in SMEs domain, appraise with current research findings that could felicitate practitioners, suppliers, and SMEs while implementing ERP in SMEs, and suggest research avenues for future. Moreover, this study signifies the current practices in SMEs, the impellingtheories, and adaptive frameworks that are discussed in existing literature on ERP implementation in SMEs.
