“…To date, the majority of related academic research has focused on determining the critical success factors (CSFs) and challenges which are faced during ERP implementation [27][28][29]. In view of the criticality of the ERP system implementation decisions, many researchers have explored the selection and evaluation of ERPs [7,30]. Other studies have applied particular developmental methodologies or tools to maximize the chances of success in ERP implementation [31,32].…”

“…ERP is anticipated to provide substantial improvements and developments over the incomprehensive nature of prior organizational information systems (ISs). Studies have reported that ERP systems deliver several advantages, such as improved productivity, cost decreases, structural changes, process facilitation, and better managerial decision making [5][6][7].…”

Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs) are struggling to survive in the present competitive environment. Enterprise resource planning (ERP) technologies have great potential to facilitate firms in achieving sustainable competitive advantages and to survive in such situations. However, the adoption of ERP among Jordanian SMEs has been reported as relatively low, which, in turn, does not affect SMEs effectively. Therefore, this study aims to examine the roles of the external forces (mimetic pressure (MP), coercive pressure (CP), and normative pressure (NP)), and Environmental Uncertainty (EU) on the adoption of ERP. Through the use of institutional theory and contingency theory, this study includes the role of EU as a moderating variable in the relationships between institutional factors (MP, CP, and NP) and ERP adoption. Data were collected from small- and medium-sized enterprises operating in Jordan. A total of 741 questionnaires were distributed to the selected SMEs, of which 192 were returned and used for analysis. The empirical data were analyzed using Partial Least Square-Structural Equation Modelling (PLS-SEM). The results show that MP, CP, NP, and EU have significant direct relationships with ERP adoption; however, contrary to our expectations, EU did not moderate the relationships between institutional factors and ERP adoption. These findings provide important insights for managers, researchers, and policy makers, helping them to understand the importance of ERP system adoption in enhancing firm performance. One limitation of this study is that it is based only on SMEs. Therefore, future studies can concentrate on the development of such research not only in SMEs, but also using larger organizations.

“…In order to determine the key indicators to reach specific SD goals in a manufacturing company, the Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) method was used, which is the third element of our approach. The AHP method is one of the multi-criteria discrete methods [17]. The AHP method helps to solve problems related to making the best choice when the selection of a variant is based on the subjective preferences of a researched group or person [29].…”

“…The literature analysis was conducted on the relationship between the information systems used in companies, namely, the ERP system and sustainable development. Current studies [15][16][17][18] indicated a wide integration of sustainability elements into the ERP system (Table 1). Based on the research analysis (Table 1) the research niche was observed in the context of a holistic approach for manufacturing companies by identifying the relationship between the ERP system and sustainable development.…”

In recent years, more reports and articles have been published on the necessity of implementing changes to manufacturing processes in the context of sustainable development (SD). The use of IT systems in manufacturing companies creates the opportunity to support changes implemented in the context of adaptation to the concept of SD. This paper proposes and explores a Sustainable Development Card (SDC) within an enterprise, the use of which will enable knowledge about the enterprise’s development level to be gained in the context of SD through the data and information collected from the information system, namely, the Enterprise Resource Planning system (ERP) implemented within a company. This research uses studies from the literature on the subject and also the case study in order to determine the SDC integrated with the ERP system. The Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) method is used, which uses validity indicators to allow a manufacturing company’s development to be evaluated within the context of SD. The results were verified by a real case study of a Polish manufacturing company. It was determined that the proposed approach allows SD to be assessed in a manufacturing company and enables the implementation process of SD strategy to be constantly monitored. This paper contributes to theory and practice at the interface of the development and sustainability of a manufacturing company, whereby assessing sustainability is associated with the development of strategy and information systems that are associated with the development of an organisation. The possibilities of using the results of research, in practice, are demonstrated convincingly.

“…The analysis of scientific researches shows that, in general, the economic stability of an industrial enterprise is determined by three main factors: (1) economic growth as a determining factor, (2) economic balance (the state of the internal and external environment of an industrial enterprise), ensuring the functioning of enterprise subsystems, (3) the level of management that ensures the full development of the enterprise in the process of its activities (A.G. Chofreh et al, 2020) [39].…”

This article discusses the problem of improving the strategic management of sustainable development in industrial enterprises in Russia. The shortcomings of the strategic management of industrial enterprises are due to the fall in the growth rates of the world and domestic economy, international sanctions, and the specifics of the development of socio-economic relations in the Russian Federation. The main problem of the research is related to the imperfection of the strategic management of the investment policy of the enterprise, which leads to a slowdown in the development of the company and a decrease in competitiveness. The main goal of the presented research is to develop proposals for improving the strategic management model for the development and implementation of investment strategies of an industrial enterprise. Based on the analysis of theoretical sources, gaps in research related to the topic and objectives of this work are highlighted. The methodological base of the research is determined, the basis of which are: system theory, systematic approach to managing a company’s sustainable development, theory and practice of modeling, strategic management, investment design. The improved model is proposed, which determines the interdependence of the strategic management of investment policy and the sustainable economic development of the company, presents the algorithm for managing the process of developing investment strategies in an industrial enterprise. This mechanism takes into account the main indicators of sustainable development of an industrial enterprise. There are proposals to improve the management model of insurance reserves of the company, reflecting the strategic aspects of investment activities necessary for the successful implementation of the course on sustainable development in an industrial company. The obtained results were tested by a number of Russian enterprises, which led to positive results of their activities, contributed to more sustainable development and strengthening of competitive positions.
