Abstract: We investigated ERP systems success measurement from the perspectives of top- and mid-level managers. Using surveys in two small Northern European countries, we aimed to determine whether differences exist between the two groups. Our results showed that there are no significant statistical differences between the two groups. The implications of the findings for both practice and research are outlined.
