The aim of this research is the implementation of business intelligence, considering the role of information systems integration and enterprise resource planning on it. According to the objectives of this research, it is practical research, and the work process is based on descriptive, survey, and exploratory research. The study population of the qualitative part of this research includes experts (information technology and communications managers from Tehran Stock Exchange companies and professors). Twenty-five interviews were performed by a non-random and targeted method, until a theoretical saturation of the questionnaire was reached. The study population of the quantitative part includes all the personnel of 167 companies where business intelligence is implemented in their organizations. Two questionnaires were used for gathering the required data for evaluating and measuring the studied variables. Validity is confirmed by experts' opinions. Finally, seven issues of structural factors, behavioral factors, environmental factors, processes, output, consequence, and the effect and their subcomponents are identified as effective items in business intelligence success. Regarding the outcome, importance, and the model coefficient of the main factors, the processes have the most impact on the results. So, organizations should pay more attention to their working processes to improve business intelligence success. Overall, the results regarding the effective factors on successful implementation of business intelligence reflect best practices of firms that have successfully implemented BI systems and provide insights for BI stakeholders that may increase the chances of successful implementation. This study shows the value of integrated information systems and enterprise resource planning in the success of business intelligence implementation. The findings of this study provide an opportunity for other researchers to study a cost optimization approach. It also suggests it is time to investigate suitable approaches by a focus on the appropriate factors for successful business intelligence implementation and by comparative analysis of ways to boost business intelligence preparation. This study also found further factors, in addition to enterprise resource planning and information systems integration, that can be used to select and rank more factors of business intelligence implementation. Furthermore, a model that examines the integration of business intelligence and the other information systems in the company is proposed for future research.

Over the past few decades, information systems and technologies have taken on a wide variety of roles within organizations, ranging from operational support to the strategic support of the company. Therefore, there have been significant changes in the motives for their adoption that are vital to understand to guarantee that investment is properly managed. With the purpose of identifying and characterizing the motivations currently behind the adoption of information technologies in large Portuguese companies, which systems the companies have been implementing, in which systems they intend to invest in short-term, and what is the current role of information technology within the organization, we carried out a study with the participation of several chief information officers. The findings of this study reveal that the reasons for adoption and the role that information systems and technologies play is evolving in Portuguese companies and that the adoption of certain types of systems like Enterprise Resource Planning systems is now consolidated, whereas the adoption of other systems like Business Intelligence systems should increase significantly in the near future.

Companies around the world are placing increasing emphasis on strategy development and implementation. Some argue that this increased emphasis is in response to market forces of increased competition and globalization, and the need to be flexible and adaptive to the business environment. Strategy development and implementation is a multifaceted task reliant on a number of interdependent factors. One of these is the role of information technology which in recent times has become an integral part of most companies’ strategies. This chapter discusses the role of strategy development and the importance of the alignment of business and IT strategies in a global environment. It discusses the role of enterprise resource planning systems on strategy development and how these systems underpin many strategic objectives companies strive for in a global environment.

In this chapter we look at the factors that influence the successful implementation of a global enterprise resource planning (ERP) system. We identify 12 issues that need to be considered when implementing such systems. Each one of these issues is expanded upon with relevant literature and examples. In this chapter we also look at factors that lead to the development of information systems by employees in addition to or outside the implemented ERP. We introduce the concept of feral systems to explain this phenomenon. Other factors such as employee mistrust of the system are also discussed. Finally we look at future directions with respect to ERP implementations.

The aim of this study is to explore the impact mechanisms of psychological learning climate on employees' innovative use of information systems (IS). Using structural equation modeling, this study develops a theoretical model to investigate how the psychological learning climate affects innovative IS use by introducing individual motivational factors as mediators. The model is tested through a survey of 163 employees using enterprise resource planning (ERP) systems in China. The results suggest that psychological learning climate is positively related to innovative IS use both directly and indirectly. The indirect effect works through motivating employees' intrinsic motivation and creative self-efficiency. This study adds to the literature on IS use by identifying and examining the role of psychological learning climate as a driver of innovative IS use. The findings could provide managers with an understanding of how management can inspire employees' potential in IS innovation.

Development of information technology in the sector of accounting has been think out an integrated system called Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP). In Indonesia, this system has been adopted by some commercial banks. This paper discusses the relationship between ERP with the effectiveness of internal controls through the case study on the banking sector. This is done because of the discovery of the problem regarding the number of cases of fraud and bank percing caused by weak internal controls, although some banks have implemented ERP that one of the benefits is to increase the effectiveness of internal control. The purpose of this paper is to provide evidence related to previous studies that comes from the journal of information systems and accounting journals related to ERP implementation and internal controls. Data collection method in this paper is the study of the documentation from the accounting literature and information systems. From the analysis, there are five factors that play a role similar in the success of the implementation of the ERP system and increase the effectiveness of internal controls. The solution to overcome the problem of internal controls in the banking sector which is using the five critical success factors above coupled with the strengthening of the role of the Internal Audit Unit. The final conclusion is that the factor of leadership support, employees, business processes, employee education, corporate management, and strengthening the role of Internal Audit can improve the effectiveness of internal control of a bank that has implemented ERP.
