TY - JOUR AB - In a competitive environment, firms continually need to establish new business objectives to fulfill their corporate visions. A whole organization should be structured to achieve these objectives. In order to support the objectives, information technology (IT) needs to be aligned to the organization’s mission. IT professionals have provided systems for theorganization and, in most cases, these systems consist ofindividual function, which should be used in an integrated manner. Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) software has emerged to offer an integrated IT solution. It is suggested that ERP couldfacilitate achieving compatibility between task characteristics and technology characteristics, a long overdue IT solution. ERP hasbecome one of the major ITinvestments for manyorganizations. Unfortunately, little research has been done to provide managers guidance on ERPpotential for their organizations. Some useful information about ERP can be found by examining the technological evolution of ERP from MRP.
