Examining Determinants of Enterprise System Adoptions in Transition Economies: Insights From Polish Adopters

Abstract

In this study the author investigates determinants of enterprise system adoptions in a transition economy setting drawing from the experience of 189 practitioners from Poland. Building on grounded theory and employing stakeholder analysis, the results reveal crucial considerations and relationships among key stakeholders involved in the project. The main findings suggest that the most critical determinants are people-related and that the determinants change in time from issues related to infrastructure and financial resources towards human factors.
