Abstract

ENTERPRISE RESOURCE PLANNING has become a very important tool in the modernization process of small and medium-sized Moroccan companies, especially because of the MOUSSANADA program, which supports them in their modernization process through the implementation of an ENTERPRISE RESOURCE PLANNING tool in order to plan resources, reduce production costs and increase productivity. Indeed, ENTERPRISE RESOURCE PLANNING encompasses several applications and modules in order to be a complete and versatile tool. It is for this reason that we have tried to analyze the place of integrated management software packages in small and medium-sized Moroccan companies through a field study. This study is combined with a deductive reasoning which is translated by the confrontation of the theoretical framework and the formulated hypotheses. After the analysis of the questionnaire, we obtained a sample of 33 small or medium-sized companies meeting the above-mentioned criteria, with a workforce ranging from 10 to 150. The objective of this article is to show the impact of the benefits, risks, applications and modules provided by ERP systems on the willingness of managers to invest in them.
