... IS development and implementation, therefore, is a challenging process of organizational change or transformation. To provide practical implications of success factors, IS research has identified diverse problems encountered in system implementation and organizational change (e.g., Al-Mashari et al., 2003;Bingi et al., 1999;Bradley, 2008;Dezdar and Ainin, 2009;Parr et al., 1999). This stream of research is now growing further by considering artificial intelligence (AI) since AI technologies impose new challenges in system implementation and organizational change. ...
... As stated in the previous section, Figure 1 exhibits the core problems and the dependent other problems identified in this study on the basis of prior research on IS implementation. Extensive research has concomitantly reported that technology or information systems (IS), organizations, and people are fundamental components of understanding IS implementation in the business context (Al-Mashari et al., 2003;Bingi et al., 1999;Bradley, 2008). Moreover, the figure delineates that all the overarching problems, described as squared boxes (e.g., failure in change management), are interconnected with each other regarding IS implementation; this indicates that a single problem does not arise in isolation. ...
... Our analytical review found that failure in change management is one of the core problems, and this not only significantly impacts IS implementation but also exacerbates other problems. Change management refers to the process of managing the transition from the old way of doing things to the new system, as well as the organizational culture and attitudes toward change (Bingi et al., 1999;Gill, 2002;Kumar et al., 2002). It can be viewed as a requisite for the implementation team to methodically develop a change management strategy while being conscious of the necessity to contemplate the ramifications of the project (Bingi et al., 1999;Nah et al., 2001). ...

Research on information systems (IS) has identified diverse problems encountered in system implementation and organizational change. We reviewed and analyzed the implementation problems explored in prior research to determine the core problems and the important causal relations between the problems. The causal mechanism behind the relations was articulated with illustrating examples. This analytical review provides a deeper understanding of the fundamental aspects of IS implementation processes, which are conducive to preparing for the implementation of artificial intelligence (AI) systems. AI systems are an information system as well. However, by embedding machine learning elements and necessary data flows, the implementation of AI systems would be much more complicated and challenging. We derived useful implications for AI systems implementation by advancing the understanding of the core problems of IS implementation and connecting them with the fundamental problems inherent in AI systems. The analyses and discussions motivate further studies on implementing IS with or without AI.
... They are endangering the organization's core activity because of a low and challenging understanding of the benefits of a new ERP software, and Hong et al.

Therefore, ERP implementation is thought to be intricate and needs to be carefully managed to reap the benefits of an ERP solution (Bingi et al., 1999). In addition, the difficulties and high failure rate in implementing ERP systems have been widely cited in the research papers. ...
... Building a cross -functional team that incorporates business and technical knowledge are essential for success of ERP. Bingi et al. (1999) asserted that the team should be co -located together at an assigned location to facilitate working together. ...
... Even though the guidance of decisionmakers is required in analyzing as well as redesigning current organizational practices, an "executive management planning committee" is crucial to establish and oversee the integration process (Umble et al., 2003). Top management should lead the changes happening during the implementation process, not only to fund the project (Bingi et al., 1999). ...
... Researchers claim that the team that will drive the ERP project implementation should be composed of people selected for their specific skills and commitment for the project. Many organizations lack evidencing how critical is selecting the right staff who showcases the potential to apprehend the organisational emergency and direct properly the process (Bingi et al., 1999). To emphasize the cross-functional nature of ERP systems, this team should include the best employees in the business and be cross-functional (Seng Woo, 2007). ...

Purpose Although it is commonly agreed that prescriptive analytics can benefit organizations by enabling better decision-making, the deployment of prescriptive analytics tools can be challenging. Previous studies have primarily focused on methodological issues rather than the organizational deployment of analytics. However, successful deployment is key to achieving the intended benefits of prescriptive analytics tools. Therefore, this study aims to identify the enablers of successful deployment of prescriptive analytics. Design/methodology/approach The authors examine the enablers for the successful deployment of prescriptive analytics through five organizational case studies. To provide a comprehensive view of the deployment process, each case includes interviews with users, managers and top management. Findings The findings suggest the key enablers for successful analytics deployment are strong leadership and management support, sufficient resources, user participation in development and a common dialogue between users, managers and top management. However, contrary to the existing literature, the authors found little evidence of external pressures to develop and deploy analytics. Importantly, the success of deployment in each case was related to the similarity with which different actors within the organization viewed the deployment process. Furthermore, end users tended to highlight user participation, skills and training, whereas managers and top management placed greater emphasis on the importance of organizational changes. Originality/value The results will help practitioners ensure that key enablers are in place to increase the likelihood of the successful deployment of prescriptive analytics.

Management of Information Technology projects is a trending topic in Sri Lanka, due to considerable number of project failures that happened during the last decade. Most of the failures happened during the project management process as projects get affected due to various changes. All the processes handled by humans and therefore, errors can be happened, but if project managers can handle the changes in a project with a proper change management process, it will be a concrete reason to get success in an IT project. The author used the deductive approach for the research and with the help of existing literature, the researcher has identified the factors that affect the change management of IT projects as change of project scope, budget, managers, quality, resource allocation and technology. With those findings, author came up with the conceptual model followed by hypothesis to proceed with primary data gathering using quantitative method. It is based on Colombo District as the population of IT Industry in Sri Lanka is huge. Stratified random sampling technique is used to determine a sample that can gather data with high reliability and accuracy. Survey is limited IT professionals with direct and indirect experience in project management. Experience and good education qualifications are also considered to get a good interpretation on Project Management integrated with change management. Secondary data is extracted from the literature available. Reliability and validity tests have performed to assess the validity of questionnaire. The Pearson correlation and liner regression have executed to evaluate hypothesis in relation to each independent variable with dependent variable. Analysis of multiple regression is done to assess the impact of all independent variables towards the dependent variable. The results of the study showed that there is a strong relationship between the independent variables towards the dependent variable and the impact is evaluated deeply. Based on that further recommendation are depicted together with contribution to both theory and future studies by filling the gaps in existing literature.

Despite the heavy investment in the ERP systems, it is not yet vivid how Kenyan Universities have involved users in the implementation of the enterprise resource planning system for the realization of their operations to obtain the benefits from the investment. In close examination of previous studies on whether the ERP system implementation at the university was successful or a failure, most of the users responded that it was a success while a few indicated that the implementation was below average. This study sought to evaluate the challenges encountered in implementing the ERP systems in public universities in reference to user involvement. This research was guided by Information Systems Success Model and Diffusion of Innovation Theory. The researcher adopted a descriptive survey research design and the area of the study was at Kisii University. The target population comprised of 300 respondents. The researcher used questionnaires for data collection from the sample size of 65 respondents who were picked randomly. The collected data was analyzed by descriptive statistics methods of mean and standard deviation. Then the results were presented in form of tables. The overall results revealed that respondents agreed (M=2.31; SD=0.972) that there were challenges facing the implementation of the ERP systems in public universities in Kenya. The study concluded that the ERP system implementations are faced by varied impediments which should be overcome to ensure smooth information systems implementation. Further the study recommended that in as much as the university rolled out the implementation of the ERP system which is ongoing, it has not fully done so to realize its full value of the system and as such the university should consider the ERP system implementation challenges for they are fundamental for the success of the ERP system implementation in public universities.

Enterprise resource planning (ERP) systems are now ubiquitous in modern organizations. A number of previous studies have focused only on system factors and perceptions, there is a noticeable shortfall in research that concurrently addresses technological factors and human roles in explaining user satisfaction. This study aimed to identify these variables from the perspectives of information systems, technology, and human participation, thereby addressing this knowledge gap. The focus of the study was a large shipbuilding and marine company utilizing an ERP system. The participants, a sample of 234 ERP users, were carefully selected by the company’s executives and practitioners, and data was collected through online questionnaires. They were selected through purposive sampling from among employees who use ERP systems in large-scale shipbuilding and marine engineering companies. The study aimed to clarify the relationships between user satisfaction and perceived ease of use, perceived usefulness, system quality, service quality, participation, and information quality. A partial least squares structural equation modeling (PLS-SEM) was used to analyze the collected data. The results indicated that perceived ease of use, system quality, service quality, and participation positively influenced user satisfaction, whereas perceived usefulness did not have a significant impact. Interestingly, participation was found to lessen the effects of perceived usefulness on satisfaction. The findings of this study suggest that to enhance ERP user satisfaction, managers should strive to make the ERP system easy-to-use and stable, encourage employee participation in the decision-making process, and bolster the role of the support team. It should be noted, however, that the study has limitations as it did not consider all possible factors, such as training and support. Future research should take a broader view of the variables involved in the operation of an enterprise-wide information system.

Technology acceptance is crucial, if newly implemented enterprise systems (ES) in a company are to succeed. This is often addressed by end-user training during the implementation project. Perceived enjoyment and positive user experience (UX) have gained significant importance as technology acceptance factors. Yet, research on the design of such trainings is scarce, and literature with focus on perceived UX of ES even more so. This is in contrast to findings from other contexts which show that perceived UX may heavily impact user attitudes and learning motivation. As a first endavour in this direction, this paper presents an exploratory pre-study on first impressions of main operating ES with regard to expected usability and UX. Results show that ES are rated low, especially when compared to a universal UX benchmark. We discuss how more positive first impressions may positively impact motivation to learn the system, which will be investigated in a follow-up study.

It has been more than two decades of experience adopting and implementing enterprise resource planning (ERP) systems in business. However, the success of these systems remains debatable. The failure rate of ERP systems is relatively high, despite the fact that success stories of ERPs are recorded in earlier research studies. The main purpose of this study is to identify and assess the degree of ERP implementation failure factors encountered by organisations and confirm which is significant in various countries. A systematic literature review was performed, considering research studies published between 2000 to 2022 for this purpose. This study critically reviewed 55 relevant articles published in reputable journals. The systematic literature review identified 35 failure factors categorised as the most critical based on their occurrence in past studies. The top five failure factors included lack of top management support, Inadequate education and training, the mismatch between the system and business strategies, lack of project management performers, and users unwilling to use the ERP system. According to the country-wise evaluation, "Lack of top management support" is a critical failure factor of the ERP implementation for all clusters. However, the more frequent impact for Asian countries, with a moderate impact for European countries and less for North American countries. Also, "Inadequate education and training" is a major Critical failure factor for Asian and North American countries during ERP implementation projects.This is the first comprehensive systematic review attempted to identify the Critical failure factor during the implementation of ERP systems.

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to examine the factors that influence enterprise resource planning (ERP) effectiveness within the context of emergency service organizations. Drawing on information systems (IS) effectiveness, ERP implementation and job satisfaction literature, the authors posit that user involvement, top management involvement and training satisfaction are the antecedents to perceived job satisfaction, and perceived job satisfaction leads to ERP effectiveness in emergency service organizations. Design/methodology/approach Survey methodology is used for collecting data for this research, and the PLS-SEM technique is used for analysis. Findings Results indicate users will be more satisfied with their training if their inputs are taken into account during their training and the top management is actively involved during the training process. Further, if the users perceive that they are adequately trained, they will be more satisfied with their jobs in using ERP, which will also lead to more effective ERP usage in emergency service operations. Research limitations/implications The focus of this study is on a single emergency service organization and thus may not be generalizable to other sectors. The authors extend ERP research to the context of emergency service organizations and thus add to the literature on ERP and emergency services. They conceptualize perceived job satisfaction to integrate roles, teamwork, supervisor and their perception regarding their potential to grow in the organization. Practical implications The managerial contribution of this research is to identify the motivational aspects and provide practical insights into the effective use of ERP systems for emergency service organizations. From a managerial perspective, the study provides a framework for both IS and emergency service providers/executives to understand and evaluate the factors that help them use ERP effectively in their firms. Originality/value This study extends the knowledge of ERP systems.

Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) systems have become increasingly popular in organizations as a means to improve efficiency and effectiveness. This study is an extension of the enterprise resource planning (ERP) assimilation research from individual to organizational levels, that it is individual users that convert the potential of ERP systems into organizational performance. Moreover, the success of ERP implementation largely depends on the support of top management. This study aims to examine the relationship between top management support and organizational performance through ERP assimilation in the manufacturing sector of Lahore. We develop and test a theoretical model to examine how enterprise systems are assimilated into organizations once they have been implemented. Using a survey questionnaire, data was collected from 300 manufacturing firms in Lahore. The results indicate a positive relationship between top management support and organizational performance mediated through ERP assimilation, user satisfaction and individual performance. The findings highlight the importance of top management support in the successful implementation and assimilation of ERP systems and its positive impact on organizational performance. This study provides insights regarding the significance of individual level assimilation within an organization in the post-implementation phase and provide managerial insights on how firms could enhance ERP assimilation at the individual level that could affect the organizational level assimilation.

BACKGROUND: Public sector organisations encounter many challenges because of their complex legislative requirements, social responsibilities and higher public expectations. In the early 1980s, governments worldwide started experimenting with improving functions and processes through enterprise resource planning (ERP) systems. OBJECTIVE: This study investigated the feasibility of South African government institutions in adopting a guideline that will assist in implementing a sustainable ERP system to improve their information systems strategy. METHOD: This study followed the qualitative dominating mixed research methodology. A survey was distributed to 20 participants with closed-ended questions to collect quantitative data and open-ended questions to collect qualitative data. RESULTS: Thirteen factors that allow ERP systems to be successfully implemented were identified. Some of the factors included effective change management policies, end-user specialised knowledge, organisation culture fit, top management support, ERP training before and post-implementation, visibility of activities throughout the workflow, and willingness to change. Sixteen issues that restrict ERP implementation were also identified. Some of the restricting factors include ERP system complexity, high levels of customisation, inadequate flexibility, budget, maintenance costs, lack of vendor support, implementation delays and cost overruns. The current state of ERP implementation in the investigated organisation is of acceptance with growth being achieved gradually and steadily. CONCLUSION: The proposed framework provides core competencies such as top management support, ERP training before and post-implementation, and effective change management policies among others, that can be used to establish corrective measures before and during the installation of ERP systems. CONTRIBUTION: This study contributed to the body of knowledge by identifying the success and hindering factors of ERP system implementation. The proposed framework outlines guidelines for organisations to successfully adopt and implement ERP systems.
... Our initial data highlighted a transformation process that was different from what is usually described in the literature (Bingi et al., 2001;Cooper & Zmud, 1990;Markus & Pfeffer, 1983) and more specifically in a healthcare context (Cucciniello et al., 2015;Czekierda et al., 2015;Oborn et al., 2011). Rather than a top-down initiative that involved a single sophisticated technology driving the transformation, doctors would choose among multiple digital technologies to provide a consultation. ...

Digital transformation (DT) is typically described as a strategic, top-down initiative where new digital technologies fundamentally disrupt an organisation’s structure, procedures, and processes to enhance its value proposition. We propose a middle-range theory which highlights that DT of professional practices in healthcare follows a different path. To build this theory, we transpose the metaphor of a “fitness landscape” from evolutionary biology to a professional healthcare context to build an intermediate conceptualisation, which is then refined through an empirical study. Our theory highlights that external events, such as the COVID-19 pandemic, changing patient behaviours or the availability of new digital resources, transform the “value landscape” upon which healthcare professionals create and deliver healthcare services to patients. Empowered by their professional autonomy and driven by their service orientation, healthcare professionals search for new paths and peaks for value creation and delivery across a rugged landscape. As digital resources are leveraged, new value propositions in practice emerge, and professional healthcare practices are digitally transformed.
... In some extreme cases, the company may have to undo the changes that ERP may bring into a company. This will certainly become management's worst nightmare (Bingi et al., 1999). Therefore, any a-priori knowledge of the misfit between data and output will provide valuable insight into the ERP selection decision and thereby, reduce the risk of project failure. ...

A Data warehouse is a repository of information gathered from multiple sources, stored under a unified schema, at a single site. We know that Data warehousing is the most leading, reliable & important technology which is used today by more companies for planning, forecasting, and management to use the minimum resources. Data Warehouse is the centralized store of detailed data from all relevant source systems, allowing for ad hoc discovery and drill-down analysis by multiple user groups. Various implementation factors play critical role to successful data warehouse (DW) project implementation. DW has unique characteristics that need to consider during implementation. There is little empirical research about implementation of DW to get success. Determining factors affecting DW success are important in the deployment of this DSS technology by organizations. A major research has been done in this field regarding design and development of data warehouses and a minor research still needs to be done for better utilization the data warehouse. An area which needs special attention from research community is data warehouse implementation & maintenance. We know that, the project may be failure due to the poor management of designing the data warehouse. This is the major factor for data warehouse project in the company. Without proper management desired results are nearly impossible to attain from a data warehouse. Unlike operational systems data warehouses need a lot more management and a support team of qualified professionals is needed to take care of the issues that arise after its deployment including data extraction, data loading, network management, training and communication, materialized view and some other related tasks. So, that the topic of my research is to explore the impact of the selected factors, under organizational, project-related and environmental dimensions, on data warehouse projects.

The purpose of this research is to examine how an Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) system affects Human Resource Management (HRM) procedures including hiring, promoting, training, and compensating workers, and how those in turn affect an organization's output in terms of employee output. Samples for this descriptive study were chosen using a stratified random sampling technique. The research team utilized a method of stratified random sampling to collect 250 samples. The questionnaires included a wide range of topics, including ERP software, HR management, and overall company efficiency. Employees of all ranks and departments utilizing ERP were asked to react. ERP installation is negatively correlated with staff training and development but positively correlated with recruiting and selection as well as salary and benefits. The processes of hiring new employees have a negative correlation with an organization's output, whereas those of paying employees a competitive wage and providing opportunities for professional growth have favorable correlations. Small sample sizes, time restrictions, and competing demands on human resources can dampen the power of studies.

Implementing electronic procurement and reaping its benefits for organizations has been a top priority for the public sector. Examining electronic procurement and performance of procurement function of county government in Kenya was thus the main objective of this study. The population for this study was 47 units of devolved government in Kenya which were envisioned by new constitution of Kenya 2010. This research relied on the following specific objectives: To determine effect of electronic sourcing on performance of procurement function of county governments in Kenya. To establish effect of electronic tendering on performance of procurement function of county government in Kenya. To determine effect of electronic ordering on performance of procurement function of county government in Kenya. To establish effect of electronic payment on performance of procurement function of county government in Kenya. The study used descriptive research design to collect and interpret data on electronic procurement and performance of procurement function of county governments in Kenya. Forty-seven county governments’ comprised target population of this research. 250 county government employees that are directly or indirectly involved in the procurement process comprised the unit of observation of this research. The researcher used both stratified and simple random sampling technique to select 30% of the total unit of observation to come up with a sample size of 75 respondents. The research used both open and closed ended questionnaires in order to collect primary data. The study used descriptive and inferential analysis to analyse gathered data. Generally, a large number of respondents exhibited responses to indicate that electronic sourcing, electronic tendering, electronic ordering and electronic payment affect performance of procurement function of county governments in Kenya. However, the analysis also showed that a significant number of respondents had a contrary opinion too as well. All these variables had a positive and significant relationship with performance of procurement function of these devolved governments. An examination of the joint relationship by the study confirmed these findings and established that these four variables jointly accounted for 69.9% of the variability in performance of procurement function. The study recommended that county governments should scale down on traditional procurement practises if full benefits of adoption of electronic procurement is to be realized. Further, it was recommended that government and other stakeholders need to work together on incentives of electronic procurement to encourage on technology use on running day to day procurement activities.

The success of any organization depends on its practices that range from recruitment, training and development, performance evaluation, compensation, and retention. While these are considered core functions of human resources management (HRM), the technology, policies, and procedures that enhance the effectiveness of these core functions are termed as Human Resources Information Systems (HRIS). With the advent of technology, the role of Human Resources (HR) has changed. In the past when an employee applied for a job, they were required to fill out a paper application providing information on demographics, employment history, and other details like certification, skills, education, and so on.

Data quality is defined in the literature as “a set of characteristics that data should own (p.1)” (Scannapieco & Catarci, 2002). Several scholars have provided various classifications for data quality. These include accuracy, timeliness, completeness and consistency (Ballou & Pazer, 1985; Scannapieco et al., 2005), meaningfulness, unambiguousness, and accessibility. The most detailed classification is provided by Wang et al. (1995), in which 25 different dimensions are used to classify data quality, of which accuracy tops their list. Given the importance of accuracy as a measure of data quality, this study will focus on the causes for inaccurate data in the public sector with a special attention on institutions of higher education.

A lot of research is currently being done on the impact of ERP (Enterprise Resource Planning) systems on business performance. Previous research has shown a mixed relationship between ERP and business performance, with some suggesting that ERP improves performance, while others find that it is not. Previous research was mainly based on quantitative methods that do not provide important knowledge and details. The results show that after implementation of the ERP, many benefits in terms of commercial performance were generally achieved, as indicated by professional users, but also that some benefits previously associated with the ERP n were not fully achieved. This indicates the positive contribution of ERP to business development, but also suggests the limited applicability of this positive relationship depending on certain factors to be sought. Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) systems improve productivity and quality of work by enabling the integration, standardization, and simplification of multiple business transactions. The aim of this study is to introduce a conceptual framework that examines how human contributions (top management, users, external consultants) are linked to the effectiveness of communication, conflict resolution and knowledge transfer in the consultation process. ERP and the effects of these factors on the effective implementation of the ERP system. The aim of the research is to determine the effectiveness of the implementation of EPR systems in the educational organization.

Enterprise systems present a new model of corporate computing. They allow companies to replace their existing information systems, which are often incompatible with one another, with a single, integrated system. By streamlining data flows throughout an organization, these commercial software packages, offered by vendors like SAP, promise dramatic gains in a company's efficiency and bottom line. It's no wonder that businesses are rushing to jump on the ES bandwagon. But while these systems offer tremendous rewards, the risks they carry are equally great. Not only are the systems expensive and difficult to implement, they can also tie the hands of managers. Unlike computer systems of the past, which were typically developed in-house with a company's specific requirements in mind, enterprise systems are off-the-shelf solutions. They impose their own logic on a company's strategy, culture, and organization, often forcing companies to change the way they do business. Managers would do well to heed the horror stories of failed implementations. FoxMeyer Drug, for example, claims that its system helped drive it into bankruptcy. Drawing on examples of both successful and unsuccessful ES projects, the author discusses the pros and cons of implementing an enterprise system, showing how a system can produce unintended and highly disruptive consequences. Because of an ES's profound business implications, he cautions against shifting responsibility for its adoption to technologists. Only a general manager will be able to mediate between the imperatives of the system and the imperatives of the business.
