Abstract

There is much literature on problems pertaining to information systems localization in Chinese companies, yet few had been on how companies solve these problems. This paper presents a case study that uses the technology, organization, and environment (TOE) framework to explain the failure of a Chinese apparel company's initial enterprise resource planning (ERP) effort and the success of its subsequent endeavor. Using the TOE framework, this paper sheds light on issues that inflict Chinese companies in their informationization process and what can be done to increase the possibilities of system success.
