ERP AND FINANCIAL PERFORMANCE – CASE STUDY ON ROMANIAN COMPANIES

Abstract

This study is conducted based on analysis of 397 companies from Romania. The study evaluates the impact of ERP solutions on the financial performance of companies, viewed from the perspective of the business model, in the sense of decreasing expenditures or increasing revenues and turnover. Using the Least Squares method (OLS) and the Difference in Difference model, the study results show that there is a strong correlation between the implementation of ERP solutions and the increase in turnover, respectively the decrease in revenues. The results obtained do not reveal an influence of the ERP implementation on the expenditures.
