  abstract = {The aims of this research are to clear the definition of ERP life cycle and to propose a conceptual ERP life cycle model through a new approach. This research adopts literature survey and theoretical inference as major methodology. We conclude that most of researches about ERP life cycle have an inaccurate understanding and misuse of this term. The findings of this research will shift people’s focus from traditional ERP life cycle to the real ERP life cycle—the post-implementation phase, since the ERP implementation is getting easier as well as entrance of new types of ERP. The conceptual model of ERP life cycle consists of the Diffusion stage, the Utilization stage, the Enhancement stage, and the Decline stage. Besides analyzing related previous researches, we also introduce two major dimensions (Organization and System) consisting of five criteria (Governance, Participation, Skills, Cost Efficiency, and Scope & Architecture) to construct a strict conceptual model. It will be the basis of the researches on ERP post-adoption and be valued to both academic and practical world. In order to verify and revise the conceptual model of ERP Life Cycle, we will keep focusing and analyzing every stage of the ERP Life Cycle model in the future works, especially, the final stage which has no data and needs to be paid more attentions to.},
