Aligning Global Business Information with ERP Systems for Improved Performance
This paper is a discussion of research on the co-alignment of Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) systems capabilities and global business information requirements for improved performance. It is based on Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) analysis to establish that if these two constructs (ERP systems capabilities and global business information requirements) are co-aligned, improved global business performance is achieved. Research undertaken in this paper is based on a survey of global businesses that have implemented ERP systems.
