“…Surprisingly adopting firms do not perform better in terms of sales growth (SG) than non-adopting firms do. This is contrary to the findings by Kallunki et al (2011), Galy and Sauceda (2012) and Acar et al (2017), who found a positive relationship between ERP implementation and sales growth. This finding implies that the improvement of ROE and ROA of adopters compared to nonadopters can only be caused by two other effects, a better use of assets and/or relatively larger net profits due to lower costs.…”

“…So the results of studies comparing before and after adoption performance data are positive, albeit limited. Kallunki et al (2011), Galy and Sauceda (2014), Kharuddin et al (2015) and Acar et al (2017) used questionnaires -sometimes in combination with actual financial firm data-to gather information on the effects of ERP implementation on financial and nonfinancial performance. These analyses show positive effects on -sometimes perceived, not actual-profitability and costs.…”

“…Most studies concentrate more on the many managerial and operational aspects affected by ERP adoption. Several also look at the combination of ERP adoption and other initiatives, such as the use of formal control (Kallunki et al, 2011) or the effect of knowledge management (Acar et al, 2017).…”

Adopting an ERP system is a challenge for any firm and the problems associated with it initially often negatively affect the adopting firm's profitability as measured through a firm's main financial indicators. Also for a longer period of time after implementation the empirical results on adoption are mixed, although more positive results have been reported in recent years. However, over the many years of implementing ERP systems much knowledge has been gained on how to improve the implementation process and speeding up the realization of the benefits. This research investigates whether Pakistani manufacturing firms profited from this by realizing the financial benefits early on. This is empirically tested by comparing ten financial performance indicators of firms that adopted an ERP system to that of non-adopters between 2002 and 2012. The results show that they benefitted from the start, but not in all areas.

It is essential for enterprises to develop lean sustainability. In this way, both the learning and understanding of the knowledge of lean tools becomes necessary. In fact, knowledge management plays a key role in the application of lean tools. In this paper, an in-depth exploration is carried out, investigating the mechanism of knowledge management which mediates between lean tools and the lean sustainability of enterprises, as well as the regulatory role of study conventions. Furthermore, a large sample from a questionnaire survey and a model based on structural equations is applied to test our theoretical hypothesis. It can be stated that lean tools display a positive effect on lean sustainability via the mediating role of knowledge management. Additionally, study conventions positively regulate the relationship among lean tools, knowledge management, and lean sustainability.

“…Knowledge management can be defined as the purposeful and systematic management of processes, methods, and tools, making full use of the organisation's knowledge potential to form goals, make efficient decisions, create and implement the uniqueness and value of the organization. Scientists, when examining the process approach to knowledge management, distinguish between different combinations of knowledge management processes (Wiig, 1993;Meyer & Zack, 1996;Mcelroy, 1999;Probst, Raub, & Romhardt, 2000;Rollett, 2003;Becerra-Fernandez, Gonzalez, & Sabherwal, 2004;Lin & Lee, 2005;Franco & Mariano, 2007;Supyuenyong, Islam, & Kulkarni, 2009;Sun, 2010;Dalkir, 2011;O'Dell & Hubert, 2011;Pinho, Rego, & Pina e Cunha, 2012;Rusly, Corner, & Sun, 2012;Wee & Chua, 2013;Agarwal & Islam, 2014;Bigliardi, Galati, & Petroni, 2014;Obeidat, Masa' deh, & Abdallah, 2014;Ranjbarfard, Aghdasi, López-Sáez, & López, 2014;Chang & Lin, 2015;Hegazy & Ghorab, 2015;García-Fernández, 2015;Tubigi & Alshawi, 2015;Wahba, 2015;Costa & Monteiro, 2016;Hwang, 2016;Kianto, Vanhala, & Heilmann, 2016;Nowacki & Bachnik, 2016;Acar, Tarim, H.

Purpose -this article aims to evaluate the influence of knowledge oriented leadership on knowledge management processes and the influence of those processes on the performance of the Middle Eastern audit and consulting companies.Research methodology -analysis of scientific literature, structural equation modelling and expert evaluation (structured questionnaire) were used in order to create hypotheses and research model, to collect data from the audit and consulting companies' experts and to test research model and related hypotheses.Findings -the results of this research supported eight out of ten suggested hypotheses. Empirical evidence shows that leadership has a positive impact on knowledge acquisition, storage, and sharing processes in the Middle Eastern audit and consulting companies and knowledge management processes (creation, acquisition, sharing, storage and application) have positive influence on organizational performance.Research limitations -conducting the research in the Middle Eastern audit and consulting companies limits the possibility of generalizing the results to other types of businesses sectors as well as other geographical areas.Practical implications -conducted research results have practical value for audit and consulting companies as this study analyses the concept of knowledge oriented leadership and its impact on knowledge management processes and organizational performance.Originality/Value -this research investigated one of rare studies in the Middle East business sector, where the audit and consulting companies' performance affected by the knowledge management processes was assessed considering knowledge oriented leadership as an influential factor that affects the knowledge management processes implementation.
