an ahp based approach to ERP System selection
International Journal of Production Economics, 2005Co-Authors: Chunchin Wei, Chenfu Chien, Maojiun J WangAbstract:Abstract An EntERPrise Resource Planning (ERP) System is a critical investment that can significantly affect future competitiveness and performance of a company. This study presents a comprehensive framework for selecting a suitable ERP System. The framework can Systematically construct the objectives of ERP selection to support the business goals and strategies of an entERPrise, identify the appropriate attributes, and set up a consistent evaluation standard for facilitating a group decision process. A real-world example demonstrates the feasibility of the proposed framework.

are financial auditors overconfident in their ability to assess risks associated with entERPrise resource planning Systems
Social Science Research Network, 2005Co-Authors: James E Hunton, Arnold Wright, Sally WrightAbstract:The first objective of the current study is to examine the extent to which financial auditors recognize heightened risks associated with an entERPrise resource planning (ERP) System, as compared to non-ERP (legacy) System, in the presence of a control weakness over access privileges. The second objective is to assess the propensity of financial auditors to consult with information technology (IT) audit specialists within their firm when assessing ERP and non-ERP System risks in the planning stage of an audit. One hundred sixty five (165) auditors participate in an experiment in which we manipulate System type (ERP versus non-ERP) and measure auditor type (IT audit specialists versus financial auditors). Both auditor types indicate significantly higher business interruption, process interdependency and overall control risks with the ERP, as compared to the non-ERP, System. Additionally, while IT audit specialists assess significantly higher network, database and application security risks with the ERP System, financial audits do not recognize higher security risks in these areas. Perceived risk differentials from the non-ERP to the ERP System across all risk categories are significantly greater for IT audit specialists than financial auditors. Finally, financial auditors do not indicate a greater need to consult with IT audit specialists when auditing an ERP versus a non-ERP System, and, they are equally highly confident in the ability of financial audit teams to assess risks in both computing environments. Overall, evidence from this study suggests that financial auditors may be overconfident in their ability to assess ERP System risks.

Journal of Information Systems, 2004Co-Authors: James E Hunton, Arnold M Wright, Sally WrightAbstract:The first objective of the current study is to examine the extent to which financial auditors recognize heightened risks associated with an entERPrise resource planning (ERP) System, as compared to a non‐ERP (legacy) System, in the presence of a control weakness over access privileges. The second objective is to assess the propensity of financial auditors to consult with information technology (IT) audit specialists within their firm when assessing ERP and non‐ERP System risks during the planning stage of an audit. One hundred sixty‐five auditors participated in an experiment in which we manipulated System type (ERP versus non‐ERP) and measured auditor type (IT audit specialists versus financial auditors).

an empirical research on the impacts of organisational decisions locus tasks structure rules knowledge and it function s value on ERP System success
International Journal of Production Research, 2015Co-Authors: Princely Ifinedo, Dag H OlsenAbstract:This research examined the impacts of organisational decisions’ locus, tasks structure, rules and procedures, organisational actors’ information technology (IT) skills/knowledge and IT department’s or function’s value perceptions on entERPrise resource planning (ERP) System success. While such antecedent factors matter in the discourse, research on their impacts on ERP success is rare. To increase understanding in the area, we proposed a research model and developed pertinent hypotheses that included the above-mentioned factors. Using a cross-sectional field survey, we collected data from 165 firms in three European countries. Data analysis was performed using the partial least squares (PLS) technique. Statistical support was found for 11 out of the 17 hypotheses formulated. Organisational design constructs, i.e. tasks structure, rules and procedures, in-house IT personnel skills/knowledge have impacts on ERP success, whereas the perceptions of IT function’s value and business employees’ IT skills/knowled...

examining the influences of external expertise and in house computer it knowledge on ERP System success
Journal of Systems and Software, 2011Co-Authors: Princely IfinedoAbstract:External expertise and adequate levels of internal computer skills and knowledge are essential factors that can contribute to the success of complex information technology (IT) Systems, including entERPrise resource planning (ERP). Studies examining the effects of external expertise and in-house or internal computer/IT knowledge on the success of ERP packages are rare. This present study was designed to fill this gap in research. A relevant research model was developed to test fifteen (15) hypothesized paths or relationships among the study's variables. Data was collected in a cross-sectional field survey of 109 firms in two European countries. The partial least squares (PLS) technique was used for data analysis. The PLS results supported eleven (11) out of the fifteen (15) hypotheses. Essentially, this research's results confirmed that external expertise (an exogenous factor) and internal computer/IT knowledge (endogenous factors) are pertinent to success enhancement of ERP System success for adopting organizations. The implications of the findings for both practice and research are discussed, and possible areas of future research identified.

impacts of business vision top management support and external expertise on ERP success
Business Process Management Journal, 2008Co-Authors: Princely IfinedoAbstract:Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to investigate the impact of such contingency factors as top management support, business vision, and external expertise, on the one hand, and entERPrise resource planning (ERP) System success, on the other.Design/methodology/approach – A conceptual model was developed and relevant hypotheses formulated. Surveys were conducted in two Northern European countries and a structural equation modeling technique used to analyze the data.Findings – It was found that the three contingency factors positively influence ERP System success. More importantly, the relative importance of quality external expertise over the other two factors for ERP initiatives was underscoredOriginality/value – It is argued that ERP Systems are different from other information technology implementations; as such, there is a need to provide insights as to how the aforementioned factors play out in the context of ERP System success evaluations for adopting organizations. As was predicted, the results ...
