The authors employed procedures from qualitative and interpretive research methods, to analyse and interpret the material using five-step procedure of gathering, categorising, coding, analysing and comparing the data.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title content-type=\"abstract-heading\">Findings<\/jats:title><jats:p>\u2013 Prior studies have identified a large number of CSFs for ERP implementation success or improved performance outcomes. The authors have shown that a limited number of CSFs have been empirically investigated for their role in, and effect on, implementation success or post-implementation performance outcomes. While reporting the factors that have some evidence to support them, the authors question the utility of the general concept of CSFs.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title content-type=\"abstract-heading\">Research limitations\/implications<\/jats:title><jats:p>\u2013 The authors' findings question the validity of many of the claimed CSFs and the utility of the general body of literature on CSFs. The authors caution researchers who may plan to use claimed CSFs for ERP in their research to carefully examine the veracity of the claim before proceeding.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title content-type=\"abstract-heading\">Practical implications<\/jats:title><jats:p>\u2013 The findings can help managers to focus their attention, priorities, resources and leadership on managing the CSFs that have been established to be critical for achieving ERP project implementation and\/or performance outcomes.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title content-type=\"abstract-heading\">Originality\/value<\/jats:title><jats:p>\u2013 The results provide new insights into the usefulness of CSFs and indicate that merely identifying possible CSFs is not sufficient to help with ERP success. Further investigation is required to establish the criticalness of the proposed CSFs before managerial time is devoted to them.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1108\/bpmj-11-2012-0127","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2014,1,7]],"date-time":"2014-01-07T07:26:00Z","timestamp":1389079560000},"page":"151-174","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":60,"title":["How \u201ccritical\u201d are the critical success factors (CSFs)?"],"prefix":"10.1108","volume":"20","author":[{"given":"Jiwat","family":"Ram","sequence":"first","affiliation":[]},{"given":"David","family":"Corkindale","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[]}],"member":"140","reference":[{"key":"key2021010403031216900_b6","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","unstructured":"Akkermans, H. and van Helden, K.
