| Abstract: | This study investigates if national culture adds to the explanation of differences (hereafter as: diffs.) in adoption status for firms operating in in 10 European countries (as: ctrs). An empirical study was carried dealing with the adoption of Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) software by medium-sized companies. It is found that variables describing national cultural highly significantly explain variance in adoption decisions in addition to the traditional micro and meso variables. These findings support the proposition that cultural diffs. btw. ctrs., even within the European Union (EU), are still large enough to impact the likelihood of adoption by companies operating in different ctrs. |
