Hence, knowledge sharing is key factor for success of ERP system usage. In this study, a framework of knowledge sharing for ERP system users in small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) is proposed.

On the basis of such a review, the study's conceptual model was proposed comprising of four main constructs, which are organisational, social capital, individual and technological factors. It is recommended that future studies should conduct on the validity of the proposed conceptual model.
