Abstract

Based on diffusion-of-innovation models, in this study, we investigate the influence sources of ERP adoption in Taiwan and explore if the Y2K can be viewed as a critical point. The results demonstrate that the main influence source of ERP adoption is the mixed influence source for all adopters. Before the Y2K, the internal model shows the higher power of explanation. And after the Y2K, the main influence becomes external influence source. With different diffusion patterns before and after the Y2K, the results confirm that the Y2K is a critical point. Besides contributing to the application of diffusion-of-innovation in Taiwan’s ERP adoption, the results of this study can provide suggestions for ERP suppliers’ marketing strategy.
