Managing the Challenge of e-Buisness Convergence through e-ERP Systems.

This paper examines how to successfully manage e-Business projects with ongoing ERP implementations. The focus is on environmental, management and organisational performance issues. The challenge is to determine facilitators that lead to e-ERP project success from the change efforts. Several case studies with varying dimensions of e-business scope are described in the context of this model. The findings show that successful projects have facilitators in all components of the model, whereas the least successful projects lack facilitators in the area of cultural readiness and change management.
