An application of moderation analysis in structural equation modeling: a comparison study between MIS and ERP

This comparison study is implemented in the relationship among, organizational learning, innovation, and performance. 168 companies in food production factories were selected from Malaysia, China, and Taiwan. The results show that even the implementation cost between MIS and ERP is quite different, but there is no significant difference between two systems in their innovation models.
