隨著資訊化時代的來臨，企業使用資訊科技整合內部資訊儼然成為企業發展壯大的必要過程。企業資源規劃（Enterprise Resource Planning, ERP）系統是一套利用資訊基礎為企業提供決策方案的管理平台，其最大的特色就在於能透過即時整合的資訊，提升企業營運績效與快速反應能力。在全球企業導入e化的風潮下，許多企業藉由引進ERP系統來為企業降低成本提升企業效率，以提升公司的競爭力。
　　在過去數十年來，企業資源規劃在社會科學研究的管理領域，已累積許多來自不同觀點的文獻討論，為探討企業資源規劃研究的發展軌跡，本研究將蒐集科學研究建立分析資料庫，採用Scopus資料庫所收錄的重要期刊文獻，在建構ERP相關關鍵字搜尋後，共取得2,511筆文獻之資料；運用主路徑分析(MainPath Analysis)，藉文獻引證關係找出ERP的主要發展脈絡，同時找出具影響力的學者、期刊、國家、以及知識流動的方向等。此外，再以線性迴歸分析法探討文獻之網絡地位與區域因素、期刊因素、學者與合作因素、時間因素等變數間的關聯。
　　研究結果顯示，文獻資料中比例以美國文獻最高，其次則為台灣及英國文獻，探究其原因可能為ERP的實務發展仍多在美國企業為主；主路徑結果最初多探討系統操作的相關理論(1998年至2006年)，接著發展至實務套用的框架、關鍵成敗因素(2007年至2015年)，最後發展中小企業之ERP相關文獻(2015年至2017年)。根據迴歸分析之結果顯示，透過合作方式產生之文獻在整體網絡重要性較高、影響力較大，特定期刊在企業資源規劃相關文獻發展也佔有重要影響地位，成為影響後續研究發展中文獻重要性的關鍵因素。
　　由於ERP本身的發展逐漸成熟，使得學者研究的主題在不同時空背景下，有不同的聚焦，本研究藉此也發現知識的擴散方向和議題的方向，隨時間經過而在特定國家和主題上，累積了重要的軌跡，從而發展出一套特別的應用架構。

With the advent of the information era, the use of information technology to integrate internal information has become a necessary process for the company to grow and develop. The Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) system is a management platform that uses the information foundation to provide decision-making solutions for enterprises. The biggest feature is the ability to improve business performance and rapid response capability through timely integration of information. Under the trend of global e-commerce, many companies have implemented ERP systems to reduce costs and improve enterprise efficiency to enhance the company's competitiveness.
In the past few decades, enterprise resource planning has accumulated many literature discussions from different perspectives in the field of social science research management. In order to explore the development trajectory of enterprise resource planning literature, this research will collect scientific research and establish an analytical database using Scopus. The important journal documents included in the database were obtained from the ERP-related keyword search, and a total of 2,511 documents were obtained. Using MainPath Analysis, the main development of ERP was found through the literature citation relationship, as well as the influential scholars, journals, countries, and the direction of knowledge flows. In addition, linear regression analysis is used to explore the relationship between the network status of the literature and regional factors, journal factors, scholars and cooperation factors, and time factors.
The results show that the proportion of the literature is the highest in the US literature, followed by the Taiwanese and British literatures. The reason may be that the practice of ERP is mostly in the US. The main path results initially explore the relevant theories of system operation (from 1998 to 2006). It evolved into the ERP practical application framework and critical success/failure factors of implementation (2007-2015). Finally, the main path developed into ERP-related literature for SMEs (2015-2017). According to the results of regression analysis, the literature generated through cooperation mode is of high importance and influence in the overall network. The specific journals also play an important role in the development of relevant literatures in enterprise resource planning, which has become the key factor of the important literature in the development of following research.
As the development of ERP matures, the subject of scholars' research has different focuses in different time and space backgrounds. This study also finds the direction of knowledge diffusion and the special issues among specific countries over time. As time passed by, we have now accumulated important trajectories and develop a special application architecture.
