However, research indicates ERP implementations have high failure rates (Saxena, Dempsey, & Mcdonagh, 2016; Iskanius, 2009). SMEs evaluating ERP adoption face risks different from larger enterprises (Stefanou, 2013). SMEs can make better decisions towards ERP implementations through risk management. This study presents information about ERP implementation risks for SMEs and risk mitigation approaches.en-USCreative Commons BY-NC-ND 4.0-USenterprise resource planningERPsmall and medium enterprisesSMEsmall businessrisk managementrisk mitigationopen source ERPERP implementation failurescritical failure factorsTerminal Project
