Study of the ERP diffusion and its impact on the firm value

With lots of firms implementing ERP, a better comprehension of the factors that drive the ERP diffusion and firm value will provide suggestions for the firms to develop appropriate strategies for ERP. Drawing on the technology-organization-environment (TOE) framework and the information technology diffusion studies, we developed an integrated model of ERP diffusion and firm value. A cross-sectional survey will conduct in Chinese firms and the partial least square (PLS) will be used for data analysis. The study will provide a theoretical framework to help firms effectively diffuse their ERP systems and realize the ERP benefits as soon as possible.
