Purpose The purpose of this paper is to propose an alternative integrated approach based on the stage-gate method to implement enterprise resource planning (ERP) systems which will enhance the effectiveness of ERP projects. Design/methodology/approach A literature review was conducted on ERP system implementation and its effectiveness. The need for improving implementation approaches and methodologies was examined. Based on the insights gained, a conceptual framework for ERP system implementation is presented by combining the state-gate approach with the pre-implementation roadmap. Findings The proposed framework aims to enhance the overall ERP implementation outcomes, ensuring critical success factors and eliminating common causes of failures. A pre-implementation roadmap is identified as a key element for eliminating many causes of failure including lack of organisations’ readiness for ERP. The post-implementation stage can be used for further improvements to the system through internal research and development. Research limitations/implications The development of the framework is an attempt to contribute to improving ERP implementation. This research is expected to motivate researchers to work in this area, and it will be beneficial to practicing managers in the identification of opportunities for improvements in ERP systems. Case studies will be valuable to refine and validate the proposed model. Originality/value This paper explores research in a needy area and offers a framework to help researchers and practitioners in improving ERP implementation. This framework is expected to reduce the implementation project duration, strengthen critical success factors and minimise common problems of ERP implementation projects.

In the midst of rapidly changing business environment and technological advancement, ERP becomes the solution for companies to improve efficiency and effectiveness by integrating existing system thus that companies can increase their performance. Using RBV approach, companies can properly manage their resources through the organizational capabilities also play an important role in improving firm performance. This paper aims to examine the effect of ERP system implementation on firm performance both directly and indirectly through the organizational capabilities as intervening variable at manufacturing companies listed on Indonesia Stock Exchange period 2013-2017 which consists of 100 samples of ERP Adopters and Non-Adopters. The conceptual model in this study tested and analyzed using PLS-based SEM. The results showed that the implementation of ERP system has significant effect on firm performance and organizational capabilities. Organizational capabilities also have significant effect on firm performance. In addition, organizational capabilities have proven to mediate the relationship between ERP system and firm performance. This shows that the implementation of ERP system makes the information system to be integrated thus it enable companies to be more efficient and will affect the organizational capabilities in maximizing the utilization of company resources that ultimately can improve the firm performance.

Strategic Plans

The world over, higher education institutions have resorted to the use of ERP system to automate operations on a standardized platform in line with their strategic plans. This is because ERP system supports a “do-it-all” approach to organizational management in addition to education managers' quest to improve quality of service to their students and the need to meet regional as well as global standards. In most institutions, operational areas such as student admission, finance, procurement, examination management, staffing, and alumni management can now be done through the ERP system. This chapter examines the issues associated with implementation of ERP system in higher education institutions. After studying this chapter, you should be able to: appreciate the various strategies for ERP system implementation, identify the factors leading to successful implementation of ERP system in higher education institutions, distinguish between the different models for successful ERP system implementation, and understand the metrics for measuring success rate of ERP system implementation.

The success of implementing Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) system has substantial benefits to an organization due to its large scale tangible and intangible benefits. However, the failure of ERP system implementation is a considerable challenge since it poses significant intervention on internal stakeholders, internal organization, business processes and technology. Though literature recognizes that these interventions bring about technological change during ERP implementation, hardly any article has conceptualized these interventions in evaluating its performance. Drawing on the Process-Variance (PV) and Adapted Socio Technical (AST) system perspectives, the objective of this article is to conceptualize the interventions through socio-technical perspective and develop a comprehensive conceptual model to assess the success or failure of ERP system implementation. The conceptual model, Process-Variance and Adapted SocioTechnical (PVAST) proposed in this article will enable decision makers and practitioners to measure ERP project performance at every stage of its life cycle in a coherent method and adopt corrective measures.

Malaysia is a primary destination for smart manufacturing and high technology activities. However, as businesses grow and compete, there is high pressure on small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) to improve their organizational performance, diversify and expand their business, and support stakeholders' interests. Management accounting practices (MAPs) are likely to allow businesses to achieve such objectives as the use of financial and non-financial information at the management and operational level will assist in planning, control, and decision-making subsequently. This increases profit and sales while reducing operational cost, improving quality, and strengthening stakeholders’ relationships, including enhancing customer value. Enterprise resource planning (ERP) is a system that allows businesses to achieve these enhancements as the ERP software integrates various automated processes related to technology, inventory, finance, services, and human resource management. The review of studies in the field of MAPs has found that the operational, tactical, and strategic benefit from the ERP system implementation may affect MAPs in SMEs; hence, this study aims to examine the possible relationships that may exist between operational, tactical, and strategic benefits of ERP implementation and MAPs among Malaysian SMEs. Data was collected using online questionnaires from 150 managers from SMEs in the state of Selangor. Using Structural Equation Modeling (AMOS), the study found that both operational benefit and strategic benefit of ERP system implementation had significant positive relationships with MAPs in Malaysian SMEs. The implications of the research findings of this study are discussed.
