Abstract
Prior research attempted to develop enterprise resource planning (ERP) pre-implementation readiness models and frameworks, but developing a measurement model for the same has not been addressed. This study is aimed at developing and validating an ERP pre-implementation readiness measurement tool for ERP systems. The research question addressed in this study is: “What pre-implementation readiness measurement tool could be developed for ERP system implementation?” The study has proposed a research model based on prior researchers. Then, a survey was conducted using a self-administered questionnaire. The proposed model was tested using a partial least square with the help of the Smart PLS 2.0 software. The empirical evidence of the study indicated that IT strategy and planning, top management commitment, planning, technology application management, service management, individual commitment, and individual capability were found as major influencing factors of ERP pre-implementation readiness measurement tool.
