Abstract: Based on the upper-echelons theory, this paper examines the relationship between the top management team (TMT) characteristics and firm performance after enter-prise resource planning (ERP) system adoption. In order to distinguish between two different operating types of businesses, namely, family firms and non-family firms, which provide different results regarding the relationship between the TMT charac-teristics and firm performance after ERP adoption, this study further divides the sample into two groups, that is, family firms and non-family firms. The empirical results indicate that TMTs with a higher level of education and greater stock ownership have superior accounting and market performance after ERP adoption. CEO duality has a positive impact on accounting performance, but a negative impact on market performance after ERP adoption. In addition, this study also finds that TMTs are characterized by different management efficiencies in family firms and non-family firms. Finally, this study finds that the longer that the ERP system is adopted, the more insignificant is the effect of TMT characteristics on firm performance after ERP adoption.
