Evaluation of the Successful Implementation of Enterprise Resource Planning Based on SAP Using the DeLone & McLean Model

ERP system is an integrated system that is relied on by companies that aim to improve operational efficiency and optimize company resources. PT XYZ, which is currently engaged in IT, has implemented the use of the SAP ERP system. This study aims to evaluate the success of the ERP implementation at PT XYZ through testing the success of information systems using the DeLone & McLean model. The research method used is quantitative research method and data is collected through filling out questionnaires. This research data processing uses the SEM-PLS method through the SmartPLS application. In determining the sample, non-probability sampling techniques were used. There are 6 DeLone & McLean variables used, namely information quality, system quality, service quality, interest in use, user satisfaction, and net benefits. From the results of the analysis of 9 hypotheses, 5 hypotheses were accepted and 4 hypotheses were rejected. From the test results, the ERP implementation at PT XYZ is still not said to be a direct success with DeLone & McLean testing because there are variables that do not affect each other and are related to interest in using the system by users. Improvements in the system quality, service quality and information quality of the ERP system used will support the successful implementation of ERP technology in the company in the future.

Enhancing Corporate Performance Through Transformational Leadership in AI-driven ERP Systems

Organisational traits, technological adoption, and transformative leadership in Chinese enterprises are examined in this study using a dataset 2010–2022. The main goal is to understand how transformative leadership affects business performance and how AI-driven ERP systems, organisational scale, and technology adoption culture modulate this relationship. The paper provides a solid framework for understanding these complex linkages using a big dataset using R and SPSS statistical analysis. Revolutionary leadership consistently boosts business. Organisational size mediates and revolutionary leadership may work better in larger organisations. Technology adoption culture highlights an organization's readiness to accept new technology, regulating the relationship. The study also found that AI-driven ERP systems diminish the correlation, suggesting that higher-tech organisations benefit from transformational leadership. This information can help CEOs adjust their technology and company characteristics strategies. Leadership theories benefit from theoretical implications that highlight contextual aspects that affect leadership dynamics. Understanding how organisational culture affects AI-driven revolutionary leadership may also help. Integrating AI and ethical transformative leadership affects sustainability and trust. Finally, the innovative leadership of AI-driven ERP systems in numerous areas and sizes explains it.

A longitudinal study on the impact of high-altitude hypoxia on perceptual processes.

This study aimed to explore the neural mechanisms underlying high-altitude (HA) adaptation and deadaptation in perceptual processes in lowlanders. Eighteen healthy lowlanders were administered a facial S1-S2 matching task that included incomplete face (S1) and complete face (S2) photographs combined with ERP technology. Participants were tested at four time points: shortly before they departed the HA (Test 1), twenty-five days after entering the HA (Test 2), and one week (Test 3) and one month (Test 4) after returning to the lowlands. Compared with those at sea level (SL), shorter reaction times (RTs), shorter latencies of P1 and N170, and larger amplitudes of complete face N170 were found in HAs. After returning to SL, compared with that of HA, the amplitude of the incomplete face P1 was smaller after one week, and the complete face was smaller after one month. The right hemisphere N170 amplitude was greater after entering HA and one week after returning to SL than at baseline, but it returned to baseline after one month. Taken together, the current findings suggest that HA adaptation increases visual cortex excitation to accelerate perceptual processing. More mental resources are recruited during the configural encoding stage of complete faces after HA exposure. The perceptual processes affected by HA exposure are reversible after returning to SL, but the low-level processing stage differs between incomplete and complete faces due to neural compensation mechanisms. The configural encoding stage in the right hemisphere is affected by HA exposure and requires more than one week but less than one month to recover to baseline.

Review and Prospect of Neuromarketing ERP Research

Neuromarketing (NM) uses neuroscience tools, for example, but not limited to functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) and electroencephalography (EEG) to study, explore, analyze, and explain the neural correlates of consumer’s behavior (i.e., decision-making processes), the cognitive processes (i.e., attention and memory) and emotional processes (i.e., emotion) of interest for marketing research (e.g., advertising, brand, product, price). In the last decades, NM studies appear more often because the researchers are looking for understanding the mechanisms of decision-making in the consumer's brain toward marketing stimuli. This document aims to conduct a systematic review in order to identify evolution and research trends in the area of NM. Besides, on the basis of collating and reviewing the relevant literatures on ERP empirical research in the past 20 years, this paper sorts out and summarizes the neural mechanism of consumer purchase decision and the commonly used ERP components, providing a reference for corresponding brain activity areas for marketing scholars to study consumer purchase decision applying ERP neural technology, which helps marketing scholars better use ERP technology to guide and develop existing marketing management theories and practices. It became evident that NM is still an immature and incipient area with a low degree of theoretical consensus. Additionally, we established corresponding analysis between NM perspective and traditional marketing perspectives.

Negative inhibition is poor in sub-threshold depression individuals: Evidence from ERP and a Go/No-go task

In this study, Go/No-go task combined with ERP technology were used to explore the characteristics of negative emotion inhibition in SD and healthy individuals and whether there are differences between negative emotion inhibition and neutral emotion inhibition in SD. The results showed that SD showed the same poor negative inhibition as depressive patients in behavior, but there was no significant difference between SD and CG in ERPs. Overall, compared with neutral emotional information, negative emotional information would reduce attention control in conflict processing, lead to faster conflict processing, attract attention, occupy more cognitive resources, and be more difficult to inhibit. It is concluded that the negative attention bias of SD individuals is only reflected in the bottom-up stimulation processing, but has not developed into the top-down cognitive control, which also suggests that the corresponding intervention measures at the early stage of depression may have better effects.

Factors affecting cloud-based enterprise resource planning software adoption in Ethiopia

Enterprise Resource Planning (erp) are integrated software solutions that transform organizations’ internal processes, provide collaboration with partners, external applications and information systems. Extant literature reveals that organizations are showing interest to transit from an on-premise erp to the new cloud-based erp solutions due to their extra benefits. There are few recent initiatives in Ethiopia to adopt cloud-based erp but challenges faced in the course of the adoption are not explored. Using the technology-organization-environment, diffusion of innovation, and the model of innovation resistance frameworks as lenses, this research aims at identifying factors contributing to the adoption of cloud-based erp in the Ethiopian context. A quantitative approach is adopted and survey was conducted using a self-administered online questionnaire using Google’s online form to gather data from employees of Ethiopian Shipping and Logistics Services Enterprise. Out of 295 questionnaires distributed, 152 valid questionnaires were collected and considered for the data analysis. The proposed model was tested using a partial least square with the help of the Smart pls software. The proposed model explained 58.5 % of the variance in cloud-based ERP adoption factors. The empirical analysis indicated that Relative advantage, Trust, IT Skill, and External pressure had a significant influence on the adoption of cloud-based erp in Ethiopia whereas Organizational Culture, Observability, and Trialability had no significant impact on the adoption of cloud erp service. The study provides a comprehensive understanding of the factors which affect the adoption of cloud-based erp technology in Ethiopia.

Assessing the Benefit of Adopting ERP Technology and Practicing Green Supply Chain Management toward Operational Performance: An Evidence from Indonesia

The recent concern on the environmental protection and COVID-19 issue is increasingly affecting the manufacturing industry. This research assessing the benefit of adopting ERP technology and practicing green supply chain management toward operational performance in manufacturing industry. The study is essential to provide insight for the manufacturing industry regarding the consequences and benefits of practicing the green supply chain and adopting ERP technology amid the current constraints of the environmental protection issue and the COVID-19 pandemic. The study has surveyed 122 companies domiciled in Indonesia. Data collection used a questionnaire designed with a seven-point Likert scale. Questionnaire created in Google form, printed and distributed using social media and postal mail. Data analysis used SmartPLS software version 3.0. The result revealed that ERP adoption enables green purchasing, production, distribution, and operational performance. Furthermore, operating performance is directly affected by green purchasing and green production. However, operating performance was not supported by green distribution. In addition, ERP adoption indirectly improves operational performance through green purchasing and green production. But ERP adoption did not affect operational performance through green distribution. This result provides essential insight for the manager in the manufacturing industry that adopting ERP in the era of the COVID-19 pandemic and practicing environmental protection such as green purchasing, green production enhances operational performance. In summary, the result of this study encourages the practitioner to adopt environmental protection in running their business since it benefits the company. While there are very few studies examining the relationship between ERP adoption, green supply chain practices, and operational performance, this study is essential in terms of exploring the mediating role of green supply chain practices on the effect of ERP adoption on operational performance. Thus, these research findings could enrich the current research in the supply chain management context.

Managing Implementation of the ERP Systems: The Importance of Technical and Consultant Support

Although the first adoptions of ERP systems in Morocco date back to at least the mid-1990s, the literature on ERP implementation is very scarce. It mainly addresses the topic of critical success elements for businesses implementing ERP systems. Indeed, a major problem that may cause the failure of ERP systems implementation is the non-acceptance of these systems by the users. Research on ERP implementation success and acceptance has attracted much interest in the information system field. While this study is very rare in developing countries, this paper proposes to fill this gap in the literature by exploring the important antecedents of users’ intention to use ERP systems. This research aims to explore whether the use of consultants and end-user technical assistance are important antecedents of end-user acceptance of ERP systems and to examine the mediating effect of perceived ease of use and perceived usefulness on the intention to use ERP systems. Using a longitudinal survey that was administered both via email and social networks to all persons willing to participate in the study, data from a matched sample of 284 end users across a range of Moroccan organization that uses the ERP system was analyzed. The authors examined the relationships between consultant support, technical support, and end users’ acceptance of ERP information systems. PLS structural equation modeling (SEM-PLS) analyses indicated a significant direct effect of perceived usefulness on the intention to use ERP. Technical support also strongly and significantly affected perceived ease of use. Perceived ease of use and perceived usefulness mediated the relationship between technical support, consultant support, and the intention to use ERP systems. The present empirical study supports the hypotheses of the TAM model. The three main constructs of the model, namely perceived ease of use, perceived usefulness, and intention of use, are significant with ERP technology in the Moroccan context. This study shows the importance of end-user technical assistance and support from consultants in successfully implementing ERP systems.

ERP Systems in business function

ERP software can integrate all the processes needed to run a company and companies use ERP systems – (Enterprise Resource Planning) for various reasons, such as the expansion and improvement of business operations as well as the reduction of costs during the activity. Automating business processes eliminates waste, improves work accuracy and improves productivity. Departments with processes from the simplest to the most complex can now synchronize work and communication to achieve faster and more successful results. Following each of the reasons, medium and large companies now operate in business with the help of ERP systems, technology and various information systems. Nevertheless, the goal of the process for a successful implementation project is to customize the ERP system according to the business needs and client’s requirements. During the implementation of an ERP information system, there is a need to adapt the system to the client’s requirements and the activity performed, so it is important that the system can leave room for changes and adaptation, without going out of its way of operation and construction. In this scientific paper, we will deal with the implementation of two separate modules in the Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central 2020 – Wave 2 standard system, to achieve the adaptation of the client’s requirements to the system.

Which is more prominent for fighter pilots under different flight task difficulties: Visual alert or verbal alert?

To explore the behavioural and cognition patterns of fighter pilots under visual and verbal alert conditions, 20 right-handed subjects participated in the experiment after 200 h of flight task training, and ERP technology was used to conduct EEG experiments under four conditions: high time pressure visual alert, low time pressure visual alert, fast speech speed verbal alert, and slow speech speed verbal alert. The results indicated the following: 1) the highest accuracy rate and shortest reaction time could be achieved under the slow speech speed verbal alert condition, indicating that the slow speech speed alert performance was optimal. 2) Subjects in the verbal alert trial showed a “right hemisphere advantage”, and the brain function area was located in the right temporal lobes. The speech speed correlated negatively with the latency and amplitude of P80.3) Subjects in the visual alert trial showed a “left hemisphere advantage”, and the brain activity was located in the left parietal lobes. 4) The latency of P80 evoked by verbal alert was earlier than that of N140 evoked by visual alert, indicating that a verbal alert causes an earlier attention effect in pilots. Based on the eye movement experiment, the performance of visual and verbal dual-channel alert was significantly higher than that of visual alert.

Correlation between Risk Perception and Decision Making in Coal Mine Based on ERP Testing Technology

Safety production in coal mine is often faced with great pressure. Security risks often lead to severe life and property loss, which greatly influence economic development and social stability. Risk perception is created on the basis of objective risk. Based on the ERP Technology, the paper regards risks in the coal mine as objective risks and tests the risk perception and risk-based decisions of the subjects. The results show that the main effect of the risk levels is significant, and the interaction of the risk level and the electrode point is not significant. High-risk scenario will lead to more negative emotions and greater fluctuations. Under high-risk conditions, the response time of consistent decisions is shorter than that of inconsistent ones. By analyzing the accuracy rate of the reaction, it is found that the accuracy rate in high-risk scenario is higher than that of the low-risk one. Compared with behavioral test, ERP testing is a more sensitive and effective test method in risk perception process.

An Event-related Potentials on the Euphemism Construal Mechanism in Literary Expression

The purpose of this paper is to clarify whether there is any electrophysiological evidence that supports reality. Here we introduce ERP technology to verify the “connotation and denotation correlation heritage model” for Chinese semantic rhetoric construal mechanism from the perspectives of Chinese antiphase, metonymy, euphemism, pun, and exaggeration, etc. It is proved with the results that there is a psychological reality for the probability feature extraction in the process of these Chinese rhetoric construal. In the average literal sense, the response to the probe word spends significant shorter time than that to unrelated sentence. While for probe words in the euphemistic text, there is no significant difference in the grand average response time conditions.
