ERP Implementation Success Factors in Saudi ArabiaCSCJournals
A review of the literature on successful implementation of ERP reveals that there are many case studies undertaken by researches, but very few have empirically examined the success factors of ERP implementation. While most of those empirical studies were undertaken in Western countries, very few had examined the implementations in Middle Eastern countries and none in Saudi Arabia. Factors and challenges of ERP implementation in developing countries differ from those of Western countries. Hence a gap in the literature that examines Middle Eastern countries exists. This study is motivated to fill such gap by going beyond case study and boundaries of Western counties to empirically examine the determinants of successful ERP implementation in Saudi Arabia. The main purpose of this study is to examine the influence of some critical factors on successful implementation of ERP.

Small and Medium Scale Enterprises in India are the most productive job designers and forerunners in developing new ideas in the field of business. SMEs not only play a vital role in providing large scale employment openings at reasonably lower capital than large businesses but also help in industrialization of rural areas in India. SMEs are complementary to large industries as subsidiary units and this sector contributes immensely to the socio-economic development of the country. Small and Medium scale industries have grown tremendously in the last 5 decades. In spite of high enthusiasm and intrinsic capabilities to grow, there are a number of problems faced by SME‟s; one of them is the „technological obsolescence‟. The SME sector in order to outcome this challenge must make advances in the field of engineering and technology. Adoption of Information Communication Technology in their business process can enhance their productivity and global competency.in the market. In this connection Enterprise Resource Planning plays a vital role in the SME‟s business process strategy. Hence there is a need for the motivation to implement ERP and find whether the current ICT solution the industries using are adequate for their strategy. In this paper we try to find out which ERP vendors does the SME sectors prefer, are the features of the ERP system and the implementation methodology selected have met the business goals and user satisfaction.

Character recognition of kannada text in scene images using neuralIAEME Publication
Character recognition in scene images is one of the most fascinating and challenging
areas of pattern recognition with various practical application potentials. It can contribute
immensely to the advancement of an automation process and can improve the interface
between man and machine in many applications. Some practical application potentials of
character recognition system are: reading aid for the blind, traffic guidance systems, tour
guide systems, location aware systems and many more. In this work, a novel method for
recognizing basic Kannada characters in natural scene images is proposed. The proposed
method uses zone wise horizontal and vertical profile based features of character images. The
method works in two phases. During training, zone wise vertical and horizontal profile based
features are extracted from training samples and neural network is trained. During testing, the
test image is processed to obtain features and recognized using neural network classifier. The
method has been evaluated on 490 Kannada character images captured from 2 Mega Pixels
cameras on mobile phones at various sizes 240x320, 600x800 and 900x1200, which contains
samples of different sizes, styles and with different degradations, and achieves an average
recognition accuracy of 92%. The system is efficient and insensitive to the variations in size
and font, noise, blur and other degradations.

VOICE BASED ATM FOR VISUALLY IMPAIRED USING ARDUINOIAEME Publication
The prototype of a voice-based ATM for visually impaired using Arduino is to help people who are blind. This uses RFID cards which contain users fingerprint encrypted on it and interacts with the users through voice commands. ATM operates when sensor detects the presence of one person in the cabin. After scanning the RFID card, it will ask to select the mode like –normal or blind. User can select the respective mode through voice input, if blind mode is selected the balance check or cash withdraw can be done through voice input. Normal mode procedure is same as the existing ATM.
IMPACT OF EMOTIONAL INTELLIGENCE ON HUMAN RESOURCE MANAGEMENT PRACTICES AMONG...IAEME Publication
There is increasing acceptability of emotional intelligence as a major factor in personality assessment and effective human resource management. Emotional intelligence as the ability to build capacity, empathize, co-operate, motivate and develop others cannot be divorced from both effective performance and human resource management systems. The human person is crucial in defining organizational leadership and fortunes in terms of challenges and opportunities and walking across both multinational and bilateral relationships. The growing complexity of the business world requires a great deal of self-confidence, integrity, communication, conflict and diversity management to keep the global enterprise within the paths of productivity and sustainability. Using the exploratory research design and 255 participants the result of this original study indicates strong positive correlation between emotional intelligence and effective human resource management. The paper offers suggestions on further studies between emotional intelligence and human capital development and recommends for conflict management as an integral part of effective human resource management.
VISUALISING AGING PARENTS & THEIR CLOSE CARERS LIFE JOURNEY IN AGING ECONOMYIAEME Publication
Our life journey, in general, is closely defined by the way we understand the meaning of why we coexist and deal with its challenges. As we develop the "inspiration economy", we could say that nearly all of the challenges we have faced are opportunities that help us to discover the rest of our journey. In this note paper, we explore how being faced with the opportunity of being a close carer for an aging parent with dementia brought intangible discoveries that changed our insight of the meaning of the rest of our life journey.
A STUDY ON THE IMPACT OF ORGANIZATIONAL CULTURE ON THE EFFECTIVENESS OF PERFO...IAEME Publication
The main objective of this study is to analyze the impact of aspects of Organizational Culture on the Effectiveness of the Performance Management System (PMS) in the Health Care Organization at Thanjavur. Organizational Culture and PMS play a crucial role in present-day organizations in achieving their objectives. PMS needs employees’ cooperation to achieve its intended objectives. Employees' cooperation depends upon the organization’s culture. The present study uses exploratory research to examine the relationship between the Organization's culture and the Effectiveness of the Performance Management System. The study uses a Structured Questionnaire to collect the primary data. For this study, Thirty-six non-clinical employees were selected from twelve randomly selected Health Care organizations at Thanjavur. Thirty-two fully completed questionnaires were received.
Living in 21st century in itself reminds all of us the necessity of police and its administration. As more and more we are entering into the modern society and culture, the more we require the services of the so called ‘Khaki Worthy’ men i.e., the police personnel. Whether we talk of Indian police or the other nation’s police, they all have the same recognition as they have in India. But as already mentioned, their services and requirements are different after the like 26th November, 2008 incidents, where they without saving their own lives has sacrificed themselves without any hitch and without caring about their respective family members and wards. In other words, they are like our heroes and mentors who can guide us from the darkness of fear, militancy, corruption and other dark sides of life and so on. Now the question arises, if Gandhi would have been alive today, what would have been his reaction/opinion to the police and its functioning? Would he have some thing different in his mind now what he had been in his mind before the partition or would he be going to start some Satyagraha in the form of some improvement in the functioning of the police administration? Really these questions or rather night mares can come to any one’s mind, when there is too much confusion is prevailing in our minds, when there is too much corruption in the society and when the polices working is also in the questioning because of one or the other case throughout the India. It is matter of great concern that we have to thing over our administration and our practical approach because the police personals are also like us, they are part and parcel of our society and among one of us, so why we all are pin pointing towards them.
A STUDY ON TALENT MANAGEMENT AND ITS IMPACT ON EMPLOYEE RETENTION IN SELECTED...IAEME Publication
The goal of this study was to see how talent management affected employee retention in the selected IT organizations in Chennai. The fundamental issue was the difficulty to attract, hire, and retain talented personnel who perform well and the gap between supply and demand of talent acquisition and retaining them within the firms. The study's main goals were to determine the impact of talent management on employee retention in IT companies in Chennai, investigate talent management strategies that IT companies could use to improve talent acquisition, performance management, career planning and formulate retention strategies that the IT firms could use. The respondents were given a structured close-ended questionnaire with the 5 Point Likert Scale as part of the study's quantitative research design. The target population consisted of 289 IT professionals. The questionnaires were distributed and collected by the researcher directly. The Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS) was used to collect and analyse the questionnaire responses. Hypotheses that were formulated for the various areas of the study were tested using a variety of statistical tests. The key findings of the study suggested that talent management had an impact on employee retention. The studies also found that there is a clear link between the implementation of talent management and retention measures. Management should provide enough training and development for employees, clarify job responsibilities, provide adequate remuneration packages, and recognise employees for exceptional performance.
ATTRITION IN THE IT INDUSTRY DURING COVID-19 PANDEMIC: LINKING EMOTIONAL INTE...IAEME Publication
Globally, Millions of dollars were spent by the organizations for employing skilled Information Technology (IT) professionals. It is costly to replace unskilled employees with IT professionals possessing technical skills and competencies that aid in interconnecting the business processes. The organization’s employment tactics were forced to alter by globalization along with technological innovations as they consistently diminish to remain lean, outsource to concentrate on core competencies along with restructuring/reallocate personnel to gather efficiency. As other jobs, organizations or professions have become reasonably more appropriate in a shifting employment landscape, the above alterations trigger both involuntary as well as voluntary turnover. The employee view on jobs is also afflicted by the COVID-19 pandemic along with the employee-driven labour market. So, having effective strategies is necessary to tackle the withdrawal rate of employees. By associating Emotional Intelligence (EI) along with Talent Management (TM) in the IT industry, the rise in attrition rate was analyzed in this study. Only 303 respondents were collected out of 350 participants to whom questionnaires were distributed. From the employees of IT organizations located in Bangalore (India), the data were congregated. A simple random sampling methodology was employed to congregate data as of the respondents. Generating the hypothesis along with testing is eventuated. The effect of EI and TM along with regression analysis between TM and EI was analyzed. The outcomes indicated that employee and Organizational Performance (OP) were elevated by effective EI along with TM.
INFLUENCE OF TALENT MANAGEMENT PRACTICES ON ORGANIZATIONAL PERFORMANCE A STUD...IAEME Publication
By implementing talent management strategy, organizations would have the option to retain their skilled professionals while additionally working on their overall performance. It is the course of appropriately utilizing the ideal individuals, setting them up for future top positions, exploring and dealing with their performance, and holding them back from leaving the organization. It is employee performance that determines the success of every organization. The firm quickly obtains an upper hand over its rivals in the event that its employees having particular skills that cannot be duplicated by the competitors. Thus, firms are centred on creating successful talent management practices and processes to deal with the unique human resources. Firms are additionally endeavouring to keep their top/key staff since on the off chance that they leave; the whole store of information leaves the firm's hands. The study's objective was to determine the impact of talent management on organizational performance among the selected IT organizations in Chennai. The study recommends that talent management limitedly affects performance. On the off chance that this talent is appropriately management and implemented properly, organizations might benefit as much as possible from their maintained assets to support development and productivity, both monetarily and non-monetarily.
A STUDY OF VARIOUS TYPES OF LOANS OF SELECTED PUBLIC AND PRIVATE SECTOR BANKS...IAEME Publication
Banking regulations act of India, 1949 defines banking as “acceptance of deposits for the purpose of lending or investment from the public, repayment on demand or otherwise and withdrawable through cheques, drafts order or otherwise”, the major participants of the Indian financial system are commercial banks, the financial institution encompassing term lending institutions. Investments institutions, specialized financial institution and the state level development banks, non banking financial companies (NBFC) and other market intermediaries such has the stock brokers and money lenders are among the oldest of the certain variants of NBFC and the oldest market participants. The asset quality of banks is one of the most important indicators of their financial health. The Indian banking sector has been facing severe problems of increasing Non- Performing Assets (NPAs). The NPAs growth directly and indirectly affects the quality of assets and profitability of banks. It also shows the efficiency of banks credit risk management and the recovery effectiveness. NPA do not generate any income, whereas, the bank is required to make provisions for such as assets that why is a double edge weapon. This paper outlines the concept of quality of bank loans of different types like Housing, Agriculture and MSME loans in state Haryana of selected public and private sector banks. This study is highlighting problems associated with the role of commercial bank in financing Small and Medium Scale Enterprises (SME). The overall objective of the research was to assess the effect of the financing provisions existing for the setting up and operations of MSMEs in the country and to generate recommendations for more robust financing mechanisms for successful operation of the MSMEs, in turn understanding the impact of MSME loans on financial institutions due to NPA. There are many research conducted on the topic of Non- Performing Assets (NPA) Management, concerning particular bank, comparative study of public and private banks etc. In this paper the researcher is considering the aggregate data of selected public sector and private sector banks and attempts to compare the NPA of Housing, Agriculture and MSME loans in state Haryana of public and private sector banks. The tools used in the study are average and Anova test and variance. The findings reveal that NPA is common problem for both public and private sector banks and is associated with all types of loans either that is housing loans, agriculture loans and loans to SMES. NPAs of both public and private sector banks show the increasing trend. In 2010-11 GNPA of public and private sector were at same level it was 2% but after 2010-11 it increased in many fold and at present there is GNPA in some more than 15%. It shows the dark area of Indian banking sector.
EXPERIMENTAL STUDY OF MECHANICAL AND TRIBOLOGICAL RELATION OF NYLON/BaSO4 POL...IAEME Publication
An experiment conducted in this study found that BaSO4 changed Nylon 6's mechanical properties. By changing the weight ratios, BaSO4 was used to make Nylon 6. This Researcher looked into how hard Nylon-6/BaSO4 composites are and how well they wear. Experiments were done based on Taguchi design L9. Nylon-6/BaSO4 composites can be tested for their hardness number using a Rockwell hardness testing apparatus. On Nylon/BaSO4, the wear behavior was measured by a wear monitor, pinon-disc friction by varying reinforcement, sliding speed, and sliding distance, and the microstructure of the crack surfaces was observed by SEM. This study provides significant contributions to ultimate strength by increasing BaSO4 content up to 16% in the composites, and sliding speed contributes 72.45% to the wear rate
ROLE OF SOCIAL ENTREPRENEURSHIP IN RURAL DEVELOPMENT OF INDIA - PROBLEMS AND ...IAEME Publication
The majority of the population in India lives in villages. The village is the back bone of the country. Village or rural industries play an important role in the national economy, particularly in the rural development. Developing the rural economy is one of the key indicators towards a country’s success. Whether it be the need to look after the welfare of the farmers or invest in rural infrastructure, Governments have to ensure that rural development isn’t compromised. The economic development of our country largely depends on the progress of rural areas and the standard of living of rural masses. Village or rural industries play an important role in the national economy, particularly in the rural development. Rural entrepreneurship is based on stimulating local entrepreneurial talent and the subsequent growth of indigenous enterprises. It recognizes opportunity in the rural areas and accelerates a unique blend of resources either inside or outside of agriculture. Rural entrepreneurship brings an economic value to the rural sector by creating new methods of production, new markets, new products and generate employment opportunities thereby ensuring continuous rural development. Social Entrepreneurship has the direct and primary objective of serving the society along with the earning profits. So, social entrepreneurship is different from the economic entrepreneurship as its basic objective is not to earn profits but for providing innovative solutions to meet the society needs which are not taken care by majority of the entrepreneurs as they are in the business for profit making as a sole objective. So, the Social Entrepreneurs have the huge growth potential particularly in the developing countries like India where we have huge societal disparities in terms of the financial positions of the population. Still 22 percent of the Indian population is below the poverty line and also there is disparity among the rural & urban population in terms of families living under BPL. 25.7 percent of the rural population & 13.7 percent of the urban population is under BPL which clearly shows the disparity of the poor people in the rural and urban areas. The need to develop social entrepreneurship in agriculture is dictated by a large number of social problems. Such problems include low living standards, unemployment, and social tension. The reasons that led to the emergence of the practice of social entrepreneurship are the above factors. The research problem lays upon disclosing the importance of role of social entrepreneurship in rural development of India. The paper the tendencies of social entrepreneurship in India, to present successful examples of such business for providing recommendations how to improve situation in rural areas in terms of social entrepreneurship development. Indian government has made some steps towards development of social enterprises, social entrepreneurship, and social in- novation, but a lot remains to be improved.
OPTIMAL RECONFIGURATION OF POWER DISTRIBUTION RADIAL NETWORK USING HYBRID MET...IAEME Publication
Distribution system is a critical link between the electric power distributor and the consumers. Most of the distribution networks commonly used by the electric utility is the radial distribution network. However in this type of network, it has technical issues such as enormous power losses which affect the quality of the supply. Nowadays, the introduction of Distributed Generation (DG) units in the system help improve and support the voltage profile of the network as well as the performance of the system components through power loss mitigation. In this study network reconfiguration was done using two meta-heuristic algorithms Particle Swarm Optimization and Gravitational Search Algorithm (PSO-GSA) to enhance power quality and voltage profile in the system when simultaneously applied with the DG units. Backward/Forward Sweep Method was used in the load flow analysis and simulated using the MATLAB program. Five cases were considered in the Reconfiguration based on the contribution of DG units. The proposed method was tested using IEEE 33 bus system. Based on the results, there was a voltage profile improvement in the system from 0.9038 p.u. to 0.9594 p.u.. The integration of DG in the network also reduced power losses from 210.98 kW to 69.3963 kW. Simulated results are drawn to show the performance of each case.

A MULTIPLE – CHANNEL QUEUING MODELS ON FUZZY ENVIRONMENTIAEME Publication
In this paper, we investigated a queuing model of fuzzy environment-based a multiple channel queuing model (M/M/C) ( /FCFS) and study its performance under realistic conditions. It applies a nonagonal fuzzy number to analyse the relevant performance of a multiple channel queuing model (M/M/C) ( /FCFS). Based on the sub interval average ranking method for nonagonal fuzzy number, we convert fuzzy number to crisp one. Numerical results reveal that the efficiency of this method. Intuitively, the fuzzy environment adapts well to a multiple channel queuing models (M/M/C) ( /FCFS) are very well.
Neuro-symbolic is not enough, we need neuro-*semantic*Frank van Harmelen
Neuro-symbolic (NeSy) AI is on the rise. However, simply machine learning on just any symbolic structure is not sufficient to really harvest the gains of NeSy. These will only be gained when the symbolic structures have an actual semantics. I give an operational definition of semantics as “predictable inference”.
All of this illustrated with link prediction over knowledge graphs, but the argument is general.
Epistemic Interaction - tuning interfaces to provide information for AI supportAlan Dix
Paper presented at SYNERGY workshop at AVI 2024, Genoa, Italy. 3rd June 2024
https://alandix.com/academic/papers/synergy2024-epistemic/
As machine learning integrates deeper into human-computer interactions, the concept of epistemic interaction emerges, aiming to refine these interactions to enhance system adaptability. This approach encourages minor, intentional adjustments in user behaviour to enrich the data available for system learning. This paper introduces epistemic interaction within the context of human-system communication, illustrating how deliberate interaction design can improve system understanding and adaptation. Through concrete examples, we demonstrate the potential of epistemic interaction to significantly advance human-computer interaction by leveraging intuitive human communication strategies to inform system design and functionality, offering a novel pathway for enriching user-system engagements.

Elevating Tactical DDD Patterns Through Object CalisthenicsDorra BARTAGUIZ
After immersing yourself in the blue book and its red counterpart, attending DDD-focused conferences, and applying tactical patterns, you're left with a crucial question: How do I ensure my design is effective? Tactical patterns within Domain-Driven Design (DDD) serve as guiding principles for creating clear and manageable domain models. However, achieving success with these patterns requires additional guidance. Interestingly, we've observed that a set of constraints initially designed for training purposes remarkably aligns with effective pattern implementation, offering a more ‘mechanical’ approach. Let's explore together how Object Calisthenics can elevate the design of your tactical DDD patterns, offering concrete help for those venturing into DDD for the first time!

operations in order to enhance information flow within the company as well as collaboration with
partners, suppliers and customers. That is the case because during the latter part of 1990, firms have
rushed to implement ERP. However, the ERP implementation is costly & complex. Thus , the
difficulties & high failure rate in implementing ERP system have been widely cited in the IT literature
[12].Recent survey held by an US consultancy services , 2000 responses from 61 countries , collected
between February 2006 to May 2012 , indicate 28% of implementation finished on time & 11 %
completed the project sooner than expected . The consultancy said it is ‘distressingly common’ to see
ERP projects running so late ( 61% of the implementations).
Generally package based projects are likely to experience delay when clients do not realize
that an integrated package implementation is not an IT implementation but a business transformation
enabled by IT. Such projects involve the client making important decisions about the extent to which
it will either adapt its business processes to fit the package or customize the package to fit its business
processes ( the former is generally preferable).This means that clients must ensure following ten
golden rules to avoid delay.
• Clear scope , cost & benefit
• Stakeholder support
• Clear service description
• Supplier due diligence
• Appropriate contractual documentation
• Sufficient resources
• Informed decisions
• Project management
• Contractual incentives
• Data migration
Though every project tries to adopt these golden rules, delays occur in the implementations
because it involves change. Generally ERP implementation research focus on identifying the factors
or variables that are critical for implementing ERP successfully. Although factor research is valuable
for advancing our understanding of ERP implementation success, it adopts a rather static view, which
limits is adequacy in explaining the dynamics of the implementation process. Thus, factor research
alone is not adequate for explaining how the transition from resistance to success has happened.
There are risks associated with this type of investments. Most of the investors burn their
fingers after entering into this exercise. Hence a pre-assessment is an absolute requirement. This
research seeks to contribute to the business community for assessment of the situation before
embarking themselves on the implementation project. The research aims are stated as:
• to exhibit readiness of the organisation for the change process of ERP implementation
• to evaluate the team involved in the implementation process to effect possible course
correction.
• to minimize risk and save time & effort required for the implementation.
Against the backdrop of these aims are the following main objectives of this study:
• to develop an ERP system success model based on the key players of ERP project;
• to propose a framework for estimation of implementation delays & time frame of the
implementation;
In achieving these objectives, the research attempts to answer the following research questions:
• How the people involved in the ERP project influence ERP project success or failure?
• Can we create a benchmark based on key players’ involvement for a more accurate
forecasting model of the ERP system operation of a company?
• How much delay contributed by key players associated with the ERP projects?
• How can we predict the time frame of the implementation before starting the project?

II. REVIEW OF LITERATURE
Concepts of ERP system was first introduced in 1990 [1]. Many researchers [2][3] worked on
to identify key areas where things must be go right for the implementation to be successful. Those key
areas are called Critical success factors (CSF). Twelve commonly accepted CSFs are identified by
[4] for the success of ERP implementation project. The key players associated with ERP
implementation & stake holder analysis is detailed in [5][6]. All ERP implementations goes through
selection, implementation & post implementation phases and follow standard implementation
methodology as per [7][8][9]10][11].
ERP implementations can turn into nightmare if it is not carefully planned, also insufficient
integrations between groups, processes & latest technology prevents getting the fruit of the
implementation [12]. The full potential of ERP system was not utilized in most cases, hardly 10%
achieved [13]. Many projects are unsuccessful, mostly due to their complexity being under estimated
[14][15]. 70% of the large scale implementation failed [16]. The fix / upgrade schedule forced by ERP
vendor make many implementations become outdated. Therefore delay in implementation schedule
becomes much more costly [17][18].
Hence prediction of ERP implementation success upfront is a point of concern. These
predictions enable organizations to decide whether to initiate ERP, inhibit adoption or take remedial
action to increase the feasibility of successful ERP. Few researches [19][20] on this area was carried
out using Case based reasoning model & Artificial intelligence techniques.
IS success models detailed in [22],[23],[24] is referred because ERP implementation is also
one of the Information system project..
III. THEORITICAL FRAME WORK
Since ERP systems integrate various business processes, previous research on user acceptance
models for IS can be a starting point to understand the success of ERP systems adaptation. The
proposed study extends ERP success model developed by [15] for construction industries which
incorporates two prevalent models related to IS acceptance and integrates those with key project
management principles.
• Technology acceptance model ( TAM ) (22)
• DeLone & McLean IS success model (23)
The success of ERP system can be classified into two categories: the success of ERP adoption
and the success of ERP system implementation. For the successful ERP adoption, it used already
proven user acceptance models for IS such as TAM and D & M IS success model as the starting point.
The model developed the rationale for the causal relationship based on the combined theoretical
backgrounds and incorporated three main dimensions for identifying the truth about the success of
ERP systems: success factors, intermediate constructs, and success indicators.

6510(Online), Volume 4, Issue 2, March- April (2013)
The success factors suggested by (24) are used in the model because they were already
validated by previous research. This success factors directly affect the perceived usefulness, and
finally lead to ERP success or failure..eg., the User related attributes directly affecting the
perceived usefulness as per [ 15 ] are Output quality, Job relevance, Image, Result
demonstrability, Compatibility and System reliability
The reference model success factors are broadly grouped into three stakeholder groups.
• Users
• Internal groups
• External groups
Further the study by [5] stress a point that there needs to have a focus beyond the adaption and
acceptance stages of implementation to include both pre- and post- implementation behavior of
key players associated in the project . The study conclude following important key players:
• Top management
• Users
• Project team
• Consultants
IV. RESEARCH METHOD
The study follows three phase approach to develop a pre-assessment model for ERP
implementation. First it develops a conceptual ERP success model , then develop a frame work
for estimation of delays and total implementation time based on key stake holders behavior , then
validate the model with a pilot study .

This model combines the result of both the study referred above but primarily concentrates on
primarily
the study of [15] and expands the stake-holder group used by that study.
] stake
Expansions of the three stakeholder group used by the study [15] are given below:
1. Users:
a. Transaction users
2. Internal Groups
a. Top management
b. Project team
c. Positional power users
l
d. Knowledge power users
3. External Groups
a. Vendor
b. Consultants
The internal group is expanded in detail to understand the behavior of influencing group
affecting ERP implementation change management process. The attitude and behavior of the
people are likely to depend on the power they have and their perception of the effect of
change. Power is the ability to control all types of resources, such as information, people,
peopl
expertise, assets, etc. Power does not rest with position. There is positional power and
knowledge power. The positional power comes from official authority, the knowledge power
accrued over a period by an individual through the acquirement of critical knowledge related
to organizational product and processes. As ERP focus on process integrations this
integrations,
knowledge power user plays a dominant role in the implementation stages like business

The above model got validated using the eight cases referred in Annexure-A. These seven
success factors revealed accurately the success and failure implementations. Those success
projects got total scores of more than 50% and failure projects scored less than 50% as shown
in Annexure – B.
2). Phase 2: Develop a frame work for estimation of delays and implementation time frame. :
All ERP implementations go through following three phases. Success or failure depends
on the activities carried out each of the phases.
1. Selection phase where requirement finalization, ERP selection & Vendor selection
takes place.
2. Implementation phase where the activities like Business Analysis, Set up /
Configuration, Conference room pilot. Customization, Production set up, Data
migration, Security profile, Readiness assessment, Go live takes place.
3. Post implementation where activities like Report generations, Monthly / yearly
closing, Refinement takes place.

Time frame for ERP implementation varies for different type of implementation as
well as number of modules implemented. Following are the standard implementation time
frame ( ST) of different type of implementation (excluding selection phase) based on the
experience of the first author .
1. Green filed site ( GF) – 7 months.
2. Roll out implementation ( RO) – 10 months
3. New implementations for existing company ( NEW) – 12 months
4. Pilot implementation for a group company ( PILOT) – 15 months
Based on the standard norms advocated by different ERP vendors for the implementation
of existing single company, effective percentage of contribution by the seven behavior factors
discussed earlier was arrived at and shown in Annexure – C & summarized in Table II .
TABLE – II

2 Top management related 6
3 Positional power user related 17
4 Knowledge power user related 7
5 Project team related 22
6 Transaction user related 12
7 Consultant related 21
Estimation of time frame is arrived using the standard implementation time frame of
different type of implementations and the delay contributed by each behavioral parameter
Estimated time ( T) = Standard Time ( ST) + Standard Time ( ST) * Total Delay ( TD)
Total Delay (TD) = Delay due to behavior parameter 1 ( D1)+Delay due to behavioral
parameter 2 ( D2) +………………+ Delay due to behavioral parameter 7 ( D7)
Where as Delay due to behavioral parameters ( D ) = Behaviour pattern contribution ( BP) *
Percentage delay ( Y)
D=BP*Y
D1=BP1*Y1
D2=BP2*Y2
…….
D7=BP7*Y7
Percentage Delay (Y) = X * C, which depends on the score ( S ) obtained through Survey /
Interview on each behavioral parameters.

3) Phase 3 : Validation of frame work developed in the previous phase :
Above model is applied in the eight cases discussed in this paper. Data and
application of the framework is shown in Annexure – D. The estimation of time frame
(prediction) is summarized in Table IV. Accuracy of prediction in the range of 85% to 97%
as shown below.

VI. CONCLUSION
It is evident from the above analysis that prediction of ERP implementation success
is possible through the seven behavior parameters of people involved in the project. All these
seven parameters can be measured up front before starting the project. The study provides the
business community following advantages:
• Exhibits the readiness of the organization for this change
• Pinpoints possible course correction required for the success of the implementation
• Reduce risk
• Save huge implementation cost
