Abstract
Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) solutions are the most frequently
used software tool in companies in all industries. Therefore, the labour market
requires the knowledge and skills for usage of ERP solutions from graduates –
future employees. The main objective of our paper is therefore the
identification of important factors that contribute to the acceptance of ERP
solutions by students in economics and business and that shape their intentions
to use this knowledge in the future. The model of our research is based on the
Technology Acceptance Model (TAM), extended by identified important
multidimensional external factors that refer to (1) students’ personal
characteristics and information literacy, (2) perceived system and
technological characteristics of ERP solutions and (3) perceived support within
the study process. Research results revealed that several dimensions of the
three multidimensonal factors play an important role in shaping the attitudes
towards acceptance of ERP solutions by students.
