Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP)
of information” in business organizations. ERP
systems promise to computerize an entire business

ERP is now being promoted as a critical link for

a firm’s supply chain, and has shown to be a
significant contributor to a corporation’s success,
if implemented correctly. ERP systems improve
efficiency within the four walls of an enterprise
by integrating and streamlining internal processes
(Anderson, 2000; Koch, 1999). Kalling (2004)
has also speculated that ERP may be a source of
competitive advantage.
