the project manager with an individual with extensive ERP implementation experience and project management experience is positively related to implementation project success. Prior ERP experience was found to be related to project success. P4b proposed that formal or informal rewards to the project team were related to project success. Only two companies among the cases distributed any tangible rewards, MudCo and Global Energy. MudCo bonuses were a surprise to the employees after project completion, so could not have provided any motivation. Global Energy has incentive bonus plans for all of its employees, whether implementation team members or not. The proposition is not supported.
