Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) systems have been heavily adopted in developed countries in the past decade and most studies on ERP adoption and selection focuses on these countries. With the emerging trend of ERP adoption in developing countries, the crucial question is: How to select an adequate ERP system. Of course this is not a new issue and already discussed in the developed countries, but many of the available studies are highly focused on this setting. Developing countries can actually adopt the available selection models but the suitability of the models has to be approved in the context of these countries. This proposal, therefore, intends to indicate the methodology to be followed in analyzing the suitability of the existing selection models in order to come up with a prototype of a suitable ERP system selection model for Ethiopia’s context.
