Using T-O-E theoretical framework to study the adoption of ERP solution

This paper provides further insight into IS adoption by investigating how 12 factors within the technology-organization-environment (T-O-E) framework explain SMEs’ adoption of enterprise resource planning (ERP) software. Survey data were collected from executives of SMEs drawn from six fast service...
