In this study, we challenged this assumption by focusing on the role of organizational culture on ERP implementation. From a set of representative CSFs, matched to Hofstede's cultural dimensions we studied assumed influences with empirical data. From this we found that organizational culture influence several CSFs associated with ERP implementation. Our findings provide an advantage over a... (More)
