One of the things your books talked about is that some ERP vendors show a Western bias in reporting best practices. Due to problems encountered, businesses in non-Western companies/locations are turning to local vendors. If the system is based on a cultural model that conflicts with the local customs and which cannot be easily accommodated by the ERP, it should not be implemented. Therefore, managers need to be aware of the cultural intricacies of their organization and determine the best way to implement a system that will meet the needs of the organization as a whole.
