RESUMEN

En este trabajo se analiza la incidencia de la implantación de los sistemas ERP (Enterprise Resource Planning) sobre un conjunto de 17 variables económico-financieras a lo largo del tiempo. A través de una encuesta realizada entre las grandes empresas españolas se ha formado una base de datos integrada por 66 empresas. Tomando como referencia la paradoja de la productividad se ha comparado la evolución de las variables en las empresas que implantaron un ERP y las que no. Como resultado más relevante hay que destacar que las empresas adoptantes experimentaron una caída significativa en su rentabilidad, causada por un deterioro en el margen. Para el resto de variables las diferencias no son significativas. Hay que señalar como limitaciones del trabajo el reducido tamaño de la base de datos y el hecho de que en las hipótesis que se aceptan el nivel de robustez de la prueba es casi siempre bajo.

ABSTRACT

This paper aims to analyze the incidence of the implementation of ERP systems on the financial position of the biggest Spanish firms. To reach this objective, we sent a questionnaire to a sample of companies. We also gathered the financial statements of these companies. The main results indicate a significant decrement in the profitability of the companies that implemented an ERP system. The cause of this decrement is a reduction in the profit margin. For the rest of the indicators we considered the differences were not found significant. As limitations of this research, we can mention that (a) the size of the analyzed sample is small, and (b) the p-values of the accepted hypothesis are not very low, as in almost every case they are above 0,01.
