Abstract

At the beginning of the twenty-first century, more and more businesses are trying to stand out in the competitive global market. They also try to improve their function and gain a competitive advantage by using information technology systems. Food businesses in Western Greece use information systems to improve the management of their functions. They apply such systems in human resources, in accounting and finance, in marketing and sales, in production, and in operational functions. Most enterprises use enterprise resource planning (ERP) systems while fewer use other software packages like human resource management (HRM), customer relationship management (CRM), software requirements specification (SRS), and material requirements planning (MRP). Moreover, a few businesses use tailor made packages mainly to manage production, human resources, and operational functions. Finally, there is a growth prospective in operational, human recourses, and production functions to apply software packages in the short-term future. The contribution of this survey to the existing literature is on the adoption of new information technologies by traditional food enterprises in Western Greece.
