The existing organizational structure and processes
found in most companies are not compatible
with the structure, tools, and types of information
provided by ERP systems. Even the most flexible
ERP system imposes its own logic on a companys
strategy, organization, and culture. Thus, implementing
an ERP system may force the reengineering
of key business processes and/or developing
new business processes to support the organization
s goals [20]. And redesigned processes require
corresponding realignment in organizational control
to sustain the effectiveness of the reengineering
efforts. This realignment typically impacts most
functional areas and many social systems within
the organization. The resulting changes may significantly
affect organizational structures, policies,
processes, and employees.
