The study is to empirically explore the enterprise resources planning (ERP) implementation strategies based on risk management theory. Five risks are proposed, namely: system risk, implementation risk, change risk, organization risk, staff risk after widely literature review. A survey is developed to collected data from ERP suppliers and firms in Xi´an to test the proposed model. The results from our survey show that ERP success significantly depends on staff risk and implementation risk.
