ERP has attracted phenomenal interest in the recent years. Actually, an ERP System is considered as a backbone of most organizations across all the industries. It will usually cover all business functions on all management levels, supporting most or all functional areas in the daily operations of the enterprise, and it is considered as a source of competitive advantage for some organizations if the system is implemented at the right way. However, the chance of failure has always been high. Today, many companies fail to realize the full benefits of ERP systems due to their negligence of some aspects of management and implementation. Finally, the result is either the improvement of the performance or on the contrary a slowdown because of its powerful concept.

To answer that we tried to do a literature review of “the implementation and management of ERP systems”. we have selected a certain number of papers of work published between 2010 and 2017 (1st September). It seeks to define the general topics, to address some issues related to implementation and management of ERP, and point out overall trends.
