Abstract

Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) implementation literature recommends diverse factors affecting the success of an ERP system. On the other hand, there is a lack of empirical analysis about the moderated relationship of ERP implementation stage between critical success factors (CSFs) and ERP implementation success (IS), particularly in India. With an online survey, this paper explores a framework of ERP system's success with 223 manufacturing firms completed the questionnaires on CSFs and IS of the ERP system. The results of Multi Group analysis from a Structural Equation Modeling using Analysis of Moments Structures (SEM AMOS) shows that the implementation stage is acted as a potential moderator and moderates the relationship between CSFs and IS.
