Reasons behind ERP package adoption: a diffusion of innovations perspective (2004)
Presentation / Conference
Light, B., & Papazafeiropoulou, A. (2004, June). Reasons behind ERP package adoption: a diffusion of innovations perspective. Presented at 12th European Conference on Information Systems, Turku, Finland

Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) packages have been widely adopted and it is becoming clear that
this is driven by multiple rationales that may be simultaneously at odds and complimentary. In this
paper, we aim to develop a greater understanding... Read More about Reasons behind ERP package adoption: a diffusion of innovations perspective.
