Accounting Information Systems Article Review

Review:

The most mission-critical accounting information systems coordinate Accounts Payable (AP) and

Accounts Receivable (AR), in addition to orchestrating the many activities of an enterprise across its

value chain. The long-term quality of information provided by any accounting information system is

predicated on how well the procedures, processes and workflows have been designed to support the

value chain structure over the long-term (Worwa, Stanik, 2010). Where Material Resourcing

Planning (MRP) systems were predominantly used within eh four walls of an enterprise and as a

result became myopic and inward-centered over time, Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) systems

have requires enterprises to concentrate on a much broader, diverse stakeholder base within and

outside their immediate organizational boundaries (Ifinedo, 2011). With these facts in mind and the

progression of enterprise systems from being internally based to being more collaborative, a

summary and critique of the article The Influence Of External Factors On Routine ERP Usage

(Sternad, Gradisar, Bobek, 2011) is provided in this analysis.

Change Management Is The Most Critical Aspect of Enterprise Software

The common attributes that the highest-performing ERP systems share globally is that are uniquely
aligned to the specific information needs, including the data and information latency requirements of

the organizations they are designed to serve. Automating business processes and ensuring a higher

level of acuity, accuracy and precision to data processing while increasing speed emerges as the

highest priority and most valued attribute of the analysis completed in the study, The Influence Of

External Factors On Routine ERP Usage (Sternad, Gradisar, Bobek, 2011). In order to validate or

refute the hypotheses regarding the influence of external factors on routine ERP usage the

researchers created a technological acceptance model (TAM) that was specifically designed to

capture and quantify at a statistically significant level the impact of each external factor isolated for

analysis in the methodology (Sternad, Gradisar, Bobek, 2011). The researchers contacted 161 ERP

users within a national telecommunications companies who had been using an ERP system as part

of their daily work activities since 1999. After having completed an initial review of organizational

process characteristics, system technological characteristics, and personal characteristics including

information literacy, the researchers were able to device their TAM Model Framework (Sternad,

Gradisar, Bobek, 2011). The three core components of the TAM include ERP Usefulness, ERP Ease

of Use and Attitudes to ERP systems (Sternad, Gradisar, Bobek, 2011). This framework provided

the researchers with an opportunity to isolate, first-order, second-order and third-order effects based

on the quality of data generated from the TAM Model and its measurement instrument.
