LITERATURE REVIEW

An enterprise system, also known as an enterprise resource planning (ERP) system, is a cross-functional
information system that assists in the planning of an organization's resources by providing organization-
wide alignment and integration of key business processes. Enterprise system makes it possible for the
organization to compile the whole data in a database. It enables the management to save data in a more
functional way and by this they can share their data with other organizations. For example, in past a
sales officer was not able to tell a customer that the product he ordered is available at that time in stick
or not, but now it is easily manipulated that which product is available and in what amount, this is all
with help of enterprise system. It is actually a centralized database which can be shared and run through
out the firm to regulate information about product management, product prices, pay roll and
organization’s personal regulation. This system can also be customized in order to achieve the goals and
meet the needs of an organization. This system centralizes the whole business and takes the customer
and the seller to the same plate form making it easier to choose and make decision for both parties.
Enterprise system is facing more and more challenges today, so its adaptability is being more focused
now a days. Various changes have been made in this to make it more adaptable and up to date
according to the eventual needs of present business.

In order to reply all the answers and questions and address all the challenges to an organization,
maintaining and changing business strategies with great talent and global insight of needs and demands
with production is the actual business organizational stability. Organizational stability means to address
the modern problem with modern solutions. It means to make your organization able to deal with
present challenges with help of capable employees and intelligent decisions. It also includes widening
the communication and advertisement, addressing new demands of customers and developing sharp
leaders. A sustainable business is the business which casts positive impacts on environment and society.
Sustainable organizations vision is clear that their short-term decision should not harm their long-term
values and worth. Using sustainable material in production, making less pollution, provide youth
educational and business loans and using renewable energy sources are example of sustainability in
business. These factors make an organization successful because investor of this era focus on them.

Resilience of an organization is ability to be ready for the future and survive over long time, it is
organization’s power to bear changes in the environment and adapt to the situation in no time. It is less
about the risk management and more about the whole novelty of the business. Improving equipment
and strategy make an organization resilient. Responding quickly to any threat and opportunity even
makes you change your original business is the real organizational reliance. A good working structure,
and a trustful environment in the organization which welcomes innovations actually assure resilience.

In a study March 2007, investigating effect of enterprise on resilience of an organization mentions that
enterprise systems allow for seamless data sharing and collaboration between different departments
within a company. To accomplish this, the system must have well-defined control mechanisms in place
that protect the company's data and defend against unwanted or unintentional system use. However,
absolute regulation can only be attained to a certain extent. Controls in the business system can be
configured in an unintentional organizational manner due to organizational requirements. The aim of
this paper is to present the results of a company case study in which an enterprise system has been
installed. We believe that implementing an enterprise structure produces power imbalances that help to
maximize leverage within the organization. As a result, there is more rigidity, as well as a potential
reduction in organizational flexibility and resilience. Enterprise structures, on the other hand, may
trigger drift as a result of the unintended consequences of power differentials and the function of
people's expectations in resolving problems within the enterprise system. In some cases, this loss of
control can act as a catalyst for organizational growth.

Masten conducted in October 2017, about resilience and sustainability describes, for an organization to
get resilience and sustainability it needs long term goals, proper meetings in routine are necessary.
Communication between the different areas of the organization and the partners regularly is required
for planning products and business, usage of recourse and regulation of funds should be all kept in
notice of management, while management should always keep an eye on these and be pre planned for
all kind of situations and give quality time updating enterprise in evaluating all data. The study
conducted with several organizations, and was qualitative in nature with many case studies with
provided deep information about the question that was resilience and sustainability conformation
inorganization. The study also implies that mangers should communicate with employees and consider
what they say as suggestions and complains. This helps them keeping good command in data sources
and trust. While sustainability needs the organization to look in to the daily life of a worker address his
problems and providing him with best possible facilities because the company is responsible for this.
Limitations of study are that, the sample size was small and many factors that contribute to the topic
were ignored due to shortage of time and equipment.

Research conducted November,2017 by Merelli, elaborates strategic planning for resilience and
sustainability in organization as follow.

Under the context of "sustainable growth," the construction industry plays a unique role in addressing
social, environmental, and economic issues. Individual construction companies' stability is characterized
as their ability to meet their goals. As a means of achieving long-term sustainability and putting green
principles into practice. The developed methods of strategic planning do not allow for the solution of
tasks related to ensuring the stability of construction companies, as they do not take into account the
fundamental characteristics of the construction industry, as well as the construction and resource
capacity of a construction company. Since contract operation and contracting processes often have a
certain degree of diversification, using matrix methods of portfolio analysis in the strategic planning of
construction company resilience is quite acceptable. The level of productivity, organizational flexibility,
and stability of the structure of inter-firm relationships decide the stability of a construction business as
an open socio-economic system. 5. Construction companies gain operational stability by careful control
of their resources. Relationships between firms in the building industry, partnership marketing is
strategic marketing. The competitiveness of a construction company, as measured by its resource,
information, and organizational characteristics, allows it to achieve functional stability, which entails
overcoming competitive forces and participating in tenders. Price rivalry at the regional level, which is
measured by contracting process quality, is the most common form of competition in the construction
industry. Administrative resources are the most important competitive advantage. The environment's
conditions and elements. On a political, tactical, and operational basis, construction firms'
competitiveness is high because of the construction industry's ongoing substantial production and
financial cycle. All these steps can be taken when the data comprised a more arranged and organized
way and is easy to share between companies.
A study was conducted in May 2015 by Tavana.The aim of this paper is to revisit the reasons for
enterprise systems' (ES) and supply chain management systems' (SCMS) adoption, as well as to
investigate the new dimensions of sustainability that must be included in the adoption process.
Furthermore, it aims to investigate the organizational benefits of ES and to link these benefits to ES
adoption in future sustainable city settings. Micro-industries will need complex interactions in future
cities, and efficient supply chains will be essential. Cloud computing, with its dynamic, on-demand, and
service-based delivery, is allowing supply chains to achieve those goals. The ES, in general, and the
SCMS, in particular, have brought organizations together into a seamless network. – Technique, design,
and approach This paper lays out a structure for smart city adoption of sustainable ES. First, the concept
is viewed at a macro-level, with the relative importance of motivating variables for long-term ES
adoption taken into account. The author, as a result, the authors then use 100 case studies to
investigate the benefits of ES as viewed by large and small and medium-sized enterprises (SME)
organizations, and then explore how these benefits can be realized for smart cities by projecting the ES
benefits onto the proposed system. Shang and Seddon (2002) developed a method for estimating
benefits. Findings – Adoption of ES, which begins with environmental factors and is mediated by
business and technological factors, would support all aspects of the triple bottom line, as well as the
firm's results. ES will play a key role in future smart city environments, including social, environmental,
and economic resilience in addition to conventional organizational success metrics. Originality/value –
The proposed structure for ES adoption would place ES packages (specifically, the requisite relative
importance of adoption reasons) in the context of long-term sustainability. Moreover the aim of the
study was to motivate the organizations to check their social, economic and environmental factors of
sustainablility.
