Abstract

This study is a conceptual replication of Karimi et al.’s (2007) study on the impact of ERP implementations on business process outcomes among US manufacturing firms in a Sub-Saharan African (SSA) nation. The results of the measurement model are valid and reliable, which are consistent and comparable with that of the original study, enhancing the external validity of the constructs proposed in the original model. However, only one of the four hypotheses tested in the structural model was confirmed in the current study although all four were supported in the original study. While the original model was tested on manufacturing firms in the US, the replicated study was carried out in several industries in Ghana, a SSA nation. Thus the differences in the structural model results do not invalidate the original model but suggest the need for capturing contextual or environmental variables such as culture, industry, ethical behavior, and data culture in order to enhance the external validity and theoretical contribution of the original model in the SSA context.
ERP实施对业务流程结果的影响:美国研究在撒哈拉以南非洲国家的复制
本研究是Karimi等人(2007)关于在撒哈拉以南非洲(SSA)国家实施ERP对美国制造企业业务流程结果影响的研究的概念复制。测量模型结果有效可靠,与原始研究结果一致,具有可比性,增强了原始模型中提出的构念的外部效度。然而,在结构模型中测试的四个假设中,只有一个在本研究中得到证实,尽管这四个假设在原始研究中都得到了支持。虽然最初的模型在美国的制造企业中进行了测试,但在SSA国家加纳的几个行业中进行了重复研究。因此,结构模型结果的差异并没有使原始模型无效,但表明需要捕获上下文或环境变量,如文化、行业、道德行为和数据文化,以增强原始模型在SSA背景下的外部有效性和理论贡献。
