“…However, the ways in which the employees and users of the system adopt are not always based on the cost factors alone, and are dependent on a number of other issues. These issues have a significant link between the financial performance of the company and the different factors which lead to the adoption of ERP system by the user [32]- [34]. The link between these "other" factors and the financial performance of the organization has not been clearly addressed in the literature and this seems to be a significant gap in the literature.…”

De même, une dimension complémentaire concernant la personnalité du dirigeant a aussi été mise en avant dans certains travaux sur l'adoption des ERP par les PME (Chang et al, 2010;Ramdani et al, 2009). De notre point de vue, le profil du dirigeant joue plus sur la politique globale de l'entreprise en termes d'investissement en technologie de l'information que sur la décision d'adopter spécifiquement un ERP.…”
