The results of the study and the implications are as follows. The study shows that a firm’s control capability regarding hardware is the only internal capability that may have a positive effect on their financial performance, and that other internal control capabilities does not influence their financial performance. It suggests that firms should make a great effort trying to enhance their control capability related to hardware, in which firms should make and implement their IT and business strategies to promote their internal capabilities when it comes to ERP operation. Firms, however, keep in mind that other internal control capabilities relating to ERP are important to their business efficiency and effectiveness from financial and strategic perspectives.
