Literature Review

Unfortunately, however, the track record of implementing these complex systems has been problematic. Barker and Frolick (2003) found that 50% of ERP implementations are failures. Hong and Kim (2002) estimate a 75% “unsuccessful” rate. And Scott and Vessey (2002) and Martin (1998) estimate failure as high as 90%. Dorobat and Nastase (2010) note that the “overwhelming majority” of ERP implementations fail to meet their time and cost project management goals, suggesting a poor rate of success. Kien, Soh, and Tay-Yap (2000) propose that there are “misfits” in ERP implementation. Nour and Mouakket (2011) also note the high failure rates. Some demographic variables may lead to lower levels of success.
