Study on the Relationship between BPR Strategy for Enterprises and ERP Performance-Evidence from China

Abstract:

In order to reveal the incentive functions of BPR and ERP strategies for enterprise performance, the structure equation modeling (SEM) is used in this paper. By theoretical analysis, research hypothesis, model deduction, and model verification, the SEM can effectively reveal the correlation between BPR strategy and ERP performance in Chinese coal enterprises. For illustration, the collected copies are 313 enterprises, in which 278 copies are valid. Ratio of sample size and the number of outcome measures is about 7:1, which meets the basic requirements of SEM. The minimum value of 5 latent variables Cronbach Alpha is 0.778 and the results have higher reliability. The empirical results show that research model fitting effect is well so that it’s no need to continue model updating. The empirical research has revealed ERP-related microcosmic mechanism in the process of BPR implementation in Chinese coal enterprises, which can provide the effective theoretical references and support for enterprises to further promote ERP performance and raise management efficiency of Chinese coal enterprises.
