Summary
Several theoretical perceptions have focused the factors of ERP implementation with characteristics like plan of projects and achievement (Laframboise, 2002), forecasting the likelihood of achievement (Magnusson et al, 2004), features, acceptance and execution process (Butler and Pyke, 2003; Nandhakumar et al, 2004), directorial pressure (Westrup and Knight, 2000), improvement towards e-commerce (Kemppainen, 2004; Schubert and Leimstoll, 2004; Schubert, 2003). Research concluded that various factors such as limited capital, poor management, lack of resources and deficiency of information technology capability are critically distressing the execution and variation of ERP systems in Pakistan and various Asian countries compared to industrial countries. Numerous studies focused on both the failure and success factors contributed to success and failures. If all the issues are proscribed and supervised these factors express as constructive and encouraging factors that contribute to achievement and the frequently investigated factors are change management, clearly defined goals and objectives, user training and education, top level management, project management and project competence (Upadhyay and Dan, 2008, 2009)
