Sažetak
The paper provides examination of the implementation of the enterprise resource planning system (ERP) in small and medium-sized companies (SMEs) in developing countries from the consultants’ perspective based on the designed conceptual model. The proposed model tries to integrate the human resource dimension with organisational development perspective within the project-based change management process. Implementation of ERP systems is considered both from the process perspective and from the organisational learning and knowledge management perspective. ERP implementation and outcomes in SMEs were studied by employing the explorative approach. The research findings contribute to the body of knowledge regarding ERP implementation in terms of the suggested implementation framework supported and verified by insights from the experienced international consultants. The research findings could be relevant for managerial decision-making regarding ERP implementation due to provided guidelines for each phase of the process.
