Abstract

This study investigates the critical success factors of AIS change in an agricultural company. This study adopts the case study approach in achieving its objectives. The findings of this study show that the company has adopted several strategies to ensure the upgrading of the new AIS structure was successful. Several strategies were adopted. The strategies are allocation of sufficient resources and funds, hands-on training, user participation, proper management of resistance, effective project management, top management support, use of external and internal experts, system requirement analysis, established new policies and procedures, and system migration and integration. The findings of this study serve as a guideline for business practices and contribute to the academic knowledge and literature. In addition, this study contributes to the organisational change literature as well as to practitioners in understanding the critical success factors of AIS change. Understanding such a process provides further insight and serves as guidance to companies in managing future organisational and AIS change effectively.
