External ERP: 
Positive relationship with suppliers is significant for the success of ERP (Geffen and Rothenberg, 
2000). Previous literature emphasized the importance of implanting ERP in collaboration with suppliers. Also, 
participating in environmental organizations may increase corporate image with respect to ERP, as well as their 
internal ERP activities. In the framework of the current study, external ERP includes
selection of environmentally 
friendly service providers and participating environmental originations. The following Figure.1 shows the 
framework of this study.
