Individual Readiness for Change in the Context of Enterprise Resource Planning System Implementation

Abstract

The present study takes a rather innovative approach and investigates the organizational implications of the implementation of Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) systems in companies from people integration, process integration and information integration perspectives. In this manner we discover the ERP-specific sources of resistance that could affect negatively the deployment of the software in an organization. Then, we argue that a general set of beliefs shapes employees readiness to change to IT use and provides the foundation for resistance or for adoptive behavior. We define the concept of readiness for change in the context of ERP implementation and introduce a readiness for change assessment approach. Then, we test empirically the study hypotheses upon which the research model was build. The results obtained offer insights into factors that can improve the effectiveness of ERP implementation strategies. These keywords were added by machine and not by the authors. This process is experimental and the keywords may be updated as the learning algorithm improves.
