Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) packages have been widely adopted and it is becoming clear that this is driven by multiple rationales that may be simultaneously at odds and complimentary. In this paper, we aim to develop a greater understanding of these rationales by taking ERP packages to be innovations and analysing their adoption with reference to the theory of diffusion of innovations. I...

We report results from two experiments in which subjects had to categorize briefly presented upright or inverted natural scenes. In the first experiment, subjects decided whether images contained animals or human faces presented at different scales. Behavioral results showed virtually identical processing speed between the two categories and very limited effects of inversion. One type of event-...

When managers consider making an investment in Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP), as with any other investment, a major concern is whether this investment will add value to their organization. This paper suggests that performance differences across firms investing in similar ERP systems can be attributed to the way the technology is integrated with the actual IT infrastructure and business pro...

This study explores the enterprise resource planning (ERP) variations in value on small and medium enterprises (SMEs) across four commercial-packages (Microsoft NAV, SAP All-in-one, ORACLE JDE, and SAGE X3). Grounded on the resource-based view (RBV) theory of the firm, we assess a research model linking three determinants; ERP use, collaboration, and analytics to explain the ERP value in three ...

Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) customization is a major source of concern for organizations implementing or using ERP systems. Customization has been used to explain implementation failures for years. However, the question of which types of customization have negative effects and which types of customizations have positive effects has not been fully explored. Case studies show that lack of ...

There is a lack of studies mapping electrophysiological event-related potentials (ERPs) to structural neuroanatomical characteristics. The aim of the present study was to integrate electrophysiological memory-related activity with cortical and hippocampal volume, as well as psychometric memory performance, in a life-span sample. More specifically, we wanted to investigate the functional signifi...
