Abstract

Adoption factors relating to enterprise resource planning (ERP) have been studied quite extensively over the years. Most of the earlier studies on cloud ERP have focused only on technical and operational issues. A few studies have addressed the adoption of cloud ERP from the user's perspective, mostly assessing the effects of the innovation characteristics or the contextual factors. Very few studies to date have conducted a holistic evaluation of both the direct and indirect effects of the determinants on cloud ERP adoption in manufacturing SMEs. Therefore, this study aims to explore and gain an understanding of the determinants of adoption factors for cloud ERP and its relative advantage to small and medium enterprises (SME) organisations. The manufacturing SMEs in Nigeria are specifically targeted. This study also seeks to develop a research model that integrates the innovation characteristics and technology-organisation-environment (TOE) perspectives that underlie its adoption.
