Resumo(s)
The purpose of this thesis is to investigate the determinants of the adoption of ERP (Enterprise
Resource Planning) technology in agricultural farms in Brazil. The data were collected in 502
personal interviews with farmers of soy, corn, cotton, coffee, beans, wheat, peanuts, fruits,
sugarcane and cattle raising, The data gathering instrument used for the quantitative research
was built based on the result of the qualitative study in combination with three theories:
Diffusion of Innovation Theory (DOI), Technology-Organization-Environment Framework
(TOE), and Interorganizational Relations (IORs). Structural Equations (SEM) methodology
was used to analyze the data and hypothesis. The results indicate the significant drivers for
Evaluation, Adoption, and Routinisation. Also, we analyzed the ERP impact on farm
performance based on resource-based view (RBV). We hope this work can bring a theoretical
and practical contribution for the agribusiness field and also increase debates about the
platforms on cloud computer based on ERP, Enterprise 2,0 and Industry 4.0. The results this
thesis provide information to agribusiness owners, managers and administrators to promote
and incentivize the use of ERP.
