A Logistic Regression Classification Model to Predict ERP Systems Adoption by SMEs in Fiji

This study applies a popular data mining algorithm, as a branch of Artificial Intelligence (AI), to investigate the characteristics that influence the adoption of Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) systems within SMEs in Fiji. A logistic regression classifier is utilised to identify the key determinants that contribute to the adoption of ERP systems. The study incorporates a comprehensive analysis of various demographic, organizational, technological and behavioral factors that provide valuable insights into the ERP-adoption patterns. From the model evaluations, the learnt model reveals that key influencing factors include SMEs knowledge and awareness, attitudes and beliefs, competitive pressure, perception of business process improvements, having high job specifications, and also having about 21–50 employees. All of these predictors have substantial effects on ERP adoption.
