Implementation of ERPS in Accounting within Lebanese Organizations: Motives and Barriers

ERPS (Enterprise Resources Planning System) is an information technology software that aims to aid organizations in their functions. According to many research the system proved its significance especially in the fields of accounting and financial management. However, this system in Lebanon has been less effective and less implemented. This research aims to identify the motives that make organizations implement ERPS and the reasons that render them not apply it. Accordingly, a mixed approach has been done. The methodology of the study used both quantitative and qualitative. The quantitative research used a questionnaire that addressed 150 employees who work with or are aware of ERPS in order to identify the barriers that made them not use it. For the qualitative research in-depth interviews were held with managers and supervisors to identify the motives that made them use ERPS. The findings of the study indicated that they use ERPS to manage financial resources, and report financial information effectively. The barriers to use it included lack of IT infrastructure, lack of training, and lack of IT support.
