Abstract

The purpose of this research is to investigate the differences of factors influencing IS project quality between large corporations and small and medium manufacturing enterprises (SMMEs), and to examine whether the moderating effect on the system type including enterprise systems and unit systems exist or not. To this end, a questionnaire survey was carried out. 100 responses were analyzed. The results showed that the factors influencing IS project quality in large corporations and to SMMEs were different. In addition, moderating effects on the system type existed. This is the first empirical study to discover that the factors are not the same between the large companies and SMMEs. The implications and conclusions are also explained.
