| Abstract [eng] |
The main aim of this final master thesis is to determine the issues and challanges of implementing enterprise resource planing systems in Lithuanian companies and to create ERP implementation model according to it. The work consists of three main parts. The first part of the work presents a theoretical analysis of the problems of business management systems: the concept of business management systems, the implementation of systems, their stages. Also, the first part presents the importance of ERP for financial management and the issues and challenges that arise during implementation. In addition, the first part of the work analyzes the results of previous research. After the theoretical analysis, the second part of the work presents the research methodology: justifies the choice of research method, presents the research logic, its course, and describes the research stages, research sample and data availability. The research was divided into two stages: the first aims to find out what are the necessary stages of ERP implementation and what are the main difficulties encountered during them. The second stage of the research aims to develop a model for the implementation of enterprise resource planning systems. In order to carry out the research, the interview method was used, when the aim was to gather information based on expert opinion in order to reveal the researched problem. The third part of the work presents the results of the study. The main problems and challenges in implementing business management systems in Lithuanian companies are revealed. The study identified 15 main problems that can be divided into personnel, project management, internal organizational and technical issues and challenges. Based on the obtained results, a ERP implementation model is created. Research findings may be useful for the companies to formulate strategic measures to address such complex issues at the outset of a ERP implementation project to avoid failure. The obtained results are discussed and the conclusions and recommendations are presented. |
