          introduction


          Interactions  between  manufacturing  and  marketing  departments  often  determine  the
          competitiveness and profitability of a firm. Enterprise resource planning (ERP) systems address
          integration issues of business functions; and benefits contributed by ERP implementation found
          in  the  literature  are  similar  to  those  achieved  through  the  integration  of  manufacturing  and
          marketing functions.
