Abstract

This dissertation is a two part study which examines and compares two of the most common Enterprise Integration technologies: Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) and Enterprise Application Integration (EAI). The first part examines the perceptions of individuals toward each of the technologies. The second part of the study compares and contrasts the two Enterprise Integration technologies with respect to the factors leading to success (or failure). The model determines three levels of factors and is derived from the two-factor motivational studies of Herzberg and Maslow's Hierarch of Needs. In addition, it attempts to discover which groups of factors may be more important for explaining the variance in implementation success, leading to a more theoretically compelling model than previously available. Finally, there is a re-examination of the factor groups to determine if different factor groups are more or less important for implementation success of each of the two integration technologies.
