Abstract

Past research has identified critical success factors to the successful implementation of ERP system. This paper reviews critical success factors of ERP which defined through application of literature review on critical success factors (CSFs) approach and CSFs of requirement engineering. ithas been analyzed CSFs from requirement engineering perspective; the findings show that CSFs of ERP are associated to requirement engineering activities
