Abstract

The paper examines a model that proposes various antecedents to successful e-business change management in ERP environments. A case study of an m-commerce project for a personnel management system within a large traditional engineering company is described in the context of this model. The specific goal of the research is to determine facilitators that lead to e-business project success of these change efforts. The results show that performance gains from the Intranet-ERP project were accompanied by the presences of facilitators in all dimensions of the framework. Of particular importance were those components related to employee empowerment — knowledge management, relationship building, and learning capacity. This has implications for both IT and user personnel and the future governance of the organisation.
