In recent years, with the increase in the popularity of ERP systems, many researchers have been faced with the question of “How can we describe the best organizational context to achieve the success through utilizing an ERP system?”. This study investigates the impact of Business Strategy, as a potential factor, on ERP post-implementation success in Iranian adopting organizations. First, a main hypothesis is developed to examine the extent of significant relation between business strategy and ERP post-implementation success. Moreover, three twofold hypothesises are developed in order to compare different strategies and find the best one. Afterwards, required data is gathered from every adopting organization using a standard questionnaire. Finally, one-way ANOVA method is applied to test the main hypothesis and Tukey method is used to perform multiple comparisons between business strategies. The findings confirm the impact of Business Strategy on ERP post-implementation success and introduce the Defender and Analyzer strategies as the suitable strategic contexts for the successful exploitation of ERP systems.

Today، many organizations plan to implement and exploit ERP system due to its numerous benefits. Despite these advantages، many adopting organizations have failed to achieve their intended goals through utilizing ERP system. Among other factors، organizational characteristics have been proposed as one of the effective factors which can influence ERP success in both implementation and post-implementation stages. This study examines the impact of Organizational Structure as a potential factor on ERP post-implementation success in Iranian adopting organizations. A research model is developed to test fifteen hypothesized relations among the variables. Data is gathered from every adopting organization using a standard questionnaire. Then، Structural Equation Modelling (SEM) Method and Partial Least Squares (PLS) Algorithm are used for data analysis. The findings confirm the impact of Organizational Structure on ERP post-implementation success and indicate how Structural Dimensions affect ERP success facets.
