Excerpt from Learning to Implement Enterprise Systems: An Exploratory Study of the Dialectics of Change
Although erp enjoys wide coverage in the trade press, academic research into this new technology has only begun to appear. As a means to classify and critique academic research on erp implementation, we used Mohr's (1982) categorization of research into variance and process approaches. A variance approach seeks to explain variation in outcome variables by associating outcomes with predictor variables. By contrast, a process approach seeks to understand outcomes by seeing how events occur over time.

Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book explores the dialectics of change that emerge in implementing enterprise resource planning (ERP) systems. Faced with knowledge barriers when replacing legacy systems, companies must overcome challenges in configuring the new software and assimilating the new work processes it enables. Implementation processes varied; some chose to focus on technology first and process changes second, while others tackled both together. The author found that the distinction between these approaches was more apparent in stated philosophies than in their implementation practices. The author concludes that ERP implementations challenge established assumptions about the role of IT and how it is implemented, ultimately requiring substantial organizational learning to adjust to the new demands. This book offers insights into the mechanisms for overcoming knowledge barriers, the dynamics of organizational learning, and the effectiveness of ERP-related organizational changes.
