Since the late 1990s, vendors of integrated management tools called ERPs (enterprise resource planning) have found their primary market, mainly large companies, is saturated. To find new customers, they have begun to market these products to small and medium enterprises (SMEs) (generally with about 100 to 500 employees) (Deep, Guttridge, Dani & Burns, 2007; Muscatello, Small & Chen, 2003). Howe...

The existing works point out that smaller organisations have been shown to have different technology adoption patterns than large ones. However, it is unclear whether Small to Medium Sized Enterprises (SMEs) and large organisations take decisions for the adoption of integration technologies by focusing on different factors. Moreover, the literature also shows that there is an absence of theoret...

RANGER is an architectural framework for scalable routing and addressing in networks with global enterprise recursion. The term "enterprise network" within this context extends to a wide variety of use cases and deployment scenarios, where an "enterprise" can be as small as a Small Office, Home Office (SOHO) network, as dynamic as a Mobile Ad Hoc Network, as complex as a multi-organizational co...

Organizations invest enormous sums of money in acquiring Enterprise Systems, presumably expecting positive impacts to the organization and its functions. Despite the optimistic motives some Enterprise System projects have reported nil or detrimental impacts. This paper studies the proposition that the size of an organization (i.e. small, medium, and large) may have contributed to the difference...

Ontologies are widely used as technique for representation and reuse of knowledge. In an enterprise context, they reflect the relevant knowledge based on enterprise-specific concepts and their relations. We consider these enterprise ontologies as building blocks for demand-oriented information supply in networked organisations, like small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) or SME-networks. Thi...

The capabilities of an Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) system to integrate all the business functions needed in a single system with a shared database efficiently and effectively has persuaded organizations to adopt them. In enterprise environment, successful ERP implementation has played a vital role for organizational efficiency. In this respect critical success factors (CSFs) have been id...

As the efficiency measuring and analyzing is a crucial problem in modern enterprise management, this paper focuses on the problem of small and medium enterprise financing efficiency analyzing, and we proposed an improved DEA model based on stepwise regression to tackle this problem. Data envelopment analysis technology can calculate the efficiency of each decision making unit relative. Hence, D...
