| Description: | Small and Medium-sized Enterprises (SMEs) are rapidly growing and their survival strategy is to be innovative, flexible and efficient to outsource simple tasks and concentrate on the complex activities. The government of Malaysia introduced Small and Medium Industries Development Corporation (SMIDEC) to assist SMEs in development and enhancement of their services by providing training and supports. There are few types of ERP available for companies, in-house which is designed for the business or off-the-shelf that companies obtain the license and use and on cloud which is eventually off the shelf but with more personalization. Each has its advantages and disadvantages. Unfortunately, Agriculture sector was an overlooked industry by business IT service provider companies and many features were not compatible with their standard operating procedure (SOP) which made the consideration of ERP even riskier. This research aimed to discover the critical success factors in ERP adoption of SMEs in Malaysia using mix models. Firstly, a list of questions was sent to the employees of Agro companies on their existing systems/ ERP. These questions are commonly asked in initial stage or system evaluation for ERPs. Results were gathered and translated to rating tables, questions and shared with three experts who are top level managers of 3 top agro companies in Malaysia which practice different types of ERP systems introduced above. The ratings and comments were then established and followed by suggestions to present to them in second round of interview in order to discuss and evaluate them. According to expert’s review, seven practice could minimize the risk in ERP adaptation.,Master of Information Technology |
