ABSTRACT
Initially, many companies implemented Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) to process business transactions. However, because of COVID-19 and competitive pressure, companies expect ERP to play a higher role in increasing business process outcomes and agility. This study investigates the effects of ERP usage on business process outcomes and organizational agility in one of the largest telecommunication companies in Indonesia as the company struggles to redefine its huge ERP investment. The research deployed a purposive sampling technique involving 170 employees in one of the largest telecommunication companies in Indonesia who use an ERP system. Quantitative data was collected through online surveys using a 5-point Likert scale questionnaire. Interviews and observations were also conducted as a complement to the quantitative data. The findings of our study suggested that there are significant positive effects of ERP usage on organizational agility and business process outcomes. Furthermore, business process outcomes positively impacts organizational agility. © 2022 IEEE.
ABSTRACT
IT for rural tourism was in place before the COVID-19 pandemic emerged;however, the initiatives were intermittent and isolated. The effects of the pandemic encourage e-collaboration to accelerate the recovery of tourism. This study explores the opportunities, strategies and barriers to e-collaboration in tourism business activities. Systematic literature studies were carried out by the PRISMA approach and analyzed with the fuzzy Delphi method (FDM). Meta-analysis results are mapped in a matrix combination of SWOT and Porter’s Diamond Model. This matrix was discussed with experts selected based on their experience in IT-based collaborative activities through FDG. This study’s driving factors are management commitment, culture, trust, citizens, and local community involvement. Inhibiting factors are a lack of IT, the risk of conflict, and particular parties’ domination. Several strategies to increase e-collaboration opportunities are empowering local entrepreneurship, encouraging continuous innovation, and sharing knowledge. Conflict management and increasing trust between members need to be considered to overcome barriers to e-collaboration. This study provides a novel overview of the main issues discussed in previous tourism research regarding the importance of IT to accelerate economic recovery in the face of disruption, such as a pandemic. The study examines the case of Indonesia and hopes to become a reference for optimizing IT for the recovery of rural tourism in developing countries with similar characteristics. © 2021 by the authors.
