This paper uses a database, derived from a data repository, in order to do an analysis of enterprise resource planning (ERP) system benefits. ERP benefits are important for a number of reasons, including establishing a match between what ERP systems benefits are—as compared to ERP expectations—setting a benchmark for other firms, and measuring those benefits. ERP benefits also are central to the business case for deciding whether a firm will invest in an ERP system. It is found that some benefits vary across industry, while others seem to be important to firms independent of industry. In particular, tangible benefits are largely industry-independent, while intangible benefits vary across industry. In addition, when compared to an earlier study by Deloitte Consulting, the results are statistically consistent with their findings, but find substantial additional intangible benefits.

Abstract. In this article, the authors provide an empirical analysis of the obtrusiveness of and participants' compliance with a relatively new psychological ambulatory assessment method, called the electronically activated recorder or EAR. The EAR is a modified portable audio-recorder that periodically records snippets of ambient sounds from participants' daily environments. In tracking moment-to-moment ambient sounds, the EAR yields an acoustic log of a person's day as it unfolds. As a naturalistic observation sampling method, it provides an observer's account of daily life and is optimized for the assessment of audible aspects of participants' naturally-occurring social behaviors and interactions. Measures of self-reported and behaviorally-assessed EAR obtrusiveness and compliance were analyzed in two samples. After an initial 2-h period of relative obtrusiveness, participants habituated to wearing the EAR and perceived it as fairly unobtrusive both in a short-term (2 days, N = 96) and a longer-term (10-11 days, N = 11) monitoring. Compliance with the method was high both during the short-term and longer-term monitoring. Somewhat reduced compliance was identified over the weekend; this effect appears to be specific to student populations. Important privacy and data confidentiality considerations around the EAR method are discussed.
