Abstract(s)
This research aims to understand how and why an
Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) system should evolve to
improve management control. Having as supporting theory the
ERP system, the holistic single case study method was applied in a
communications and multimedia services trading company. Data
collection was based on documents, participant observation and
interview with the company manager. The main results showed the
need to change the ERP system in order to allow disaggregating
information to greater detail. Such disaggregation was evidenced
for accounting reporting, costs per vehicle, costs per driver, nonfinancial
performance per employee and performance per store.
As an extension of theory, the need for management accounting to
build disaggregated information and the interdependence of
adaptive Information Systems (ISs) are reinforced.
