- Abstract:
– The purpose of this paper is to identify reasons for the enterprise
systems adoption, their relevance to the Indian organizations and their
relationship with industry and size among the Indian organizations.
Design/methodology/approach
– Through the content analysis of 12 research papers reasons of
enterprise systems adoption have been identified. With the resultant
framework of variables, 288 Indian cases have been scanned to identify
and contrast adoption reasons in India with other countries. Also
through
χ2 test their associations have been studied with respect to industry and size among Indian organizations.
– All the adoption reasons are present in Indian organizations. All the
adoption reasons are indifferent to the industry of organization.
Similarly it is found that all the adoption reasons but one is
indifferent to the size of organization. Only organizational change is
found to be significantly related with the size.
Research limitations/implications
– The scope of study is limited to the Indian organizations that have
implemented enterprise systems software. All the manifest variables have
been marked with only two values 0 for absence and 1 for presence while
omitting the information on relative strength. There is potential
possibility of bias toward ES implementation benefits and relative
comfort in implementing the target vendor's product. This research has
utilized secondary data that might not have been created to address the
current problem therefore may be limited in relevancy and accuracy.
– Adoption motivations are a good starting point to see the need for
the ES. Occurrences of adoption motivations advocate the change in the
application infrastructure. Following 12 motivations for the adoption of
ES have been identified in the literature review. Moreover they have
not varied much with respect to the size and industry of the
organizations. However, some factors are showing stronger presence in
Indian context than the global counterparts and some are showing weaker
presence.
– Content analysis of the literature review has resulted in 12 reasons
for the enterprise systems adoption after three iterations. These
variables have been explained with the help of literature. Second,
component of this research studies the relationship of these variables
with industry and size among Indian organizations. It is established
that enterprise systems are being adopted globally for the identical
reasons. These reasons are also almost uniform with respect to industry
and size of the Indian organizations.
