Companies adopting enterprise resource planning (ERP) systems have often focused primarily on implementation-related factors while neglecting those of post-implementation. As a result, the usefulness and operation of the ERP systems, once installed, are compromised. This research adopted a case study approach to demonstrate that ERP adoption efforts that fail to pay attention to postimplementat...

Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to identify and examine the concerns of administrative and clerical employees towards a web-based business system and associated training which were not identified either before or during an enterprise resource planning (ERP) implementation. Post-implementation analyses revealed that while an implementation can be deemed a success immediately following go-...

OBJECTIVES Reports in autism spectrum disorders (ASD) of a minicolumnopathy with consequent deficits of lateral inhibition help explain observed behavioral and executive dysfunctions. We propose that neuromodulation based on low frequency repetitive Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (rTMS) will enhance lateral inhibition through activation of inhibitory double bouquet interneurons and will be a...

The present study was aimed at identifying potential behavioral and neural correlates of emotional intelligence (EI) by using scalp-recorded Event-Related Potentials (ERPs). EI levels were defined according to both self-report questionnaire and a performance-based test. We identified ERP correlates of emotional processing by comparing ERPs elicited in trials using pleasant, neutral and unpleasa...

This chapter aims to establish and verify a risk ontology for the post-implementation of Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) systems. The risk ontology was initially constructed through the process of a critical literature review. It consists of 40 ERP exploitation risks related to diverse operational, analytical, organization-wide, and technical aspects. This theoretical risk ontology can be us...

Enterprise resources planning (ERP) systems attract many attentions from industry sector because of their ability to facilitate and integrate the enterprise operations. However, many expenses accompany the implementation of these systems and consecutive changes which doing a precise and comprehensive performance evaluation a necessary part of this process. These evaluations should consider oper...

Problems associated with ERP implementations are most prevalent during the post-implementation phase because this is when the mistakes of the prior phases surface and become real. The cost overruns and adverse business impacts in an organization during this phase can threaten the survival of the organization and impact sales revenue. For this reason, research that increases our understanding of...
