The enterprise resource planning(ERP) system becomes more popular as a vehicle of realizing an integrated information system, because this system not only facilitates the reengineering of processes in a firm but also provides the function of generating consolidated financial statements. However, ERP vendors have unsuccessfully provided methodologies on the customization of ERP packages although one of the important issues during the implementation of an ERP package is how to customize it. The purpose of this paper is to build a strategy on the successful customization of ERP packages. The result from the analysis of interviews with 25 consultants and experts in the ERP field recommends 14 customization strategies of an ERP package in the four areas of a firm: management, technology, organization, and environment. The analysis of the feedback from the consultants and experts generates the ranking of the 14 customization strategies.

성공적인 ERP 시스템 운영을 위해서는 체계적인 ERP 시스템 구축이 요구된다. 현재 ERP 시스템의 성공적인 구현에 대한 많은 연구들이 이루어졌지만, 이러한 연구들 대부분이 관리자를 대상으로 한 주요성공요인 차원의 접근이 이루어졌거나 또는 관리자와 최종사용자들을대상으로 성과에 영향을 미치는 요인도출에 치중되어 왔다. 실제 성공적인 ERP 시스템 구축을 위해서 구축과정에서의 관리자와 사용자간의 인식 차이는 매우 중요함에도 불구하고,이러한 인식 차이를 발견하려는 노력이 부족하였다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 ERP 시스템 구축 프로세스를 반영해 주요성공요인 접근을 통해 도출된 ERP 시스템 구축 요인에 대하여ERP 시스템을 도입한 중소기업을 대상으로 실증조사를 통해 관리자와 최종사용자의 구축요인에 대한 인식 차이를 분석하였다. 이러한 실증 분석 결과는 기업에서 성공적인 ERP 시스템을 구축하는데 중요한 가이드라인을 제안해 줄 것이다.

Under the pressure of business competition and effectiveness, more and more organizations in the world are likely to apply modern software such as enterprise resource planning (ERP) which can help them to create better organizing practice, better managing capabilities of administrators, and better operations of personnel. In Vietnam, many firms are afraid to install it and the number of firms adopting this software is limited mainly due to the insufficient scientific evidence of the successful implementation of ERP. This study aims to identify and measure the factors influencing the successful implementation of ERP of firms in Vietnam. Qualitative research methodology combined with quantitative research methodology is used. The data are surveyed with 343 administrators of 45 organizations that have successfully deployed ERP in Ha Noi and Ho Chi Minh cities. Of these 19 were excluded from analyses due to unsatisfactory responses, and only 324 were used for statistical processing. The collected data were processed by using the SPSS software. The result of the study shows that there are six factors affecting the successful implementation of ERP of firms in Vietnam, (ranked in descending order of importance), they are top management commitment and support, business process re-engineering, user involvement, project management board, vendor support, and suitability of software and hardware.

This work investigates how domestic or foreign ERP affects the relationship between risks associated ERP implementation and intention to adopt risk-mitigating options. We propose three risks such as ERP vendor risk, economic risk, and security risk should affect positively the intention to adopt the risk-mitigating options. To validate the impact of risks and to examine the difference between domestic and foreign ERP, we collected data from IT managers in small and medium sized logistics companies in South Korea using survey questionnaires. We validate the difference between domestic ERP and foreign ERP using multiple regression analyses. We find that IT managers using domestic ERP are willing to adopt risk-mitigating options for economic and security risk. In contrast, we find that IT managers using foreign ERP are willing to adopt risk-mitigating options for ERP-vendor risk. This work may provide IT managers in logistics industry a practical guideline of choosing either domestic or foreign ERP based on their risk preferences.

The purpose of this study is to empirically analyze the relationships between the Boundary Spanning Activities (BSA) of project team and system performance in ERP system development projects. We could theoretically classify the BSA in the ERP development projects into five categories on the basis of existing studies on the BSA in the research fields of organization theory, new product development, and information systems development. These five categories are 'Ambassador' activities, 'Task-coordinator' activities, 'Scout' activities, 'Sentry' activities and 'Guard' activities. And the relationship between the implementation level of activities included in each category and the project performance (system usage and users' satisfaction) was hypothesized with respect to five BSA categories. In order to test the hypotheses, we conducted on/offline survey of the participants who were involved in the ERP system development projects, and received 345 valid responses. The unit of analysis was the project team, and the total number of teams that survey participants belonged to were 103 ones. The Structural Equation Model Analysis using the SMART PLS 3.0 was applied to statistically testing the hypotheses. The results showed that 10 hypotheses among 12 hypotheses could be supported. The theoretical implications of this study can be summarized as following; first, redefining and categorizing the BSA (Boundary Spanning Activities) in the ERP system development projects, secondly, deriving measurement indicators of the implementation level for each BSA category and statistically proving the validity and the reliability of them, and finally, suggesting the theoretical background of expanding the management area of ERP systems development projects. Furthermore, the practical implication of this study is that concrete BSA items which are empirically derived can be utilized as effective guidelines for successfully implementing the BSA in the process of managing the ERP system development projects.

Since 1995 many enterprises have introduced ERP to strengthen competitive power. However, enterprises that have introduced ERP for the first time have experienced various types of problems integrating them; to this day, there are only a few enterprises that have implemented ERP successfully. The main reason for the failures of successful ERP implementing is that enterprises frequently ignore and/or don't know how to systematically evaluate the construction process of ERP and busy finishing a phase without resolving problems before going on to the next phase. This research focused on the implementation process of ERP project to evaluate the process of ERP at each phase. As a result, we propose an evaluation model of ERP project as a tool to find critical problems at each phase and improve on how to resolve the problems found at each phase. This evaluation model makes it possible to introduce ERP successfully by presenting the basis of assessment which will be used by enterprises to minimize the trial and error of construction process of ERP.
