Abstract
This study’s goal is to investigate and better understand project teams’ building in enterprise system (ES) adoption. The analysis builds on two-phased research conducted among two groups of ES adopters. The investigated issues, revealed during the first, exploratory phase of the research, include the steering committee composition, the project team composition, and the involvement of the system provider’s representatives. Next, their influence on ES adoption success is investigated during the second phase. In doing so, the analysis examines the impact of the project type defined by four criteria: adoption scope, inter-organizational focus, company size, and project duration time. Recommendations regarding project team building and future research conclude the paper.
