Nevertheless, research into the relationships among conflict management (CM), transformational leadership, and the performance of ERP customization projects are limited. This study addressed this issue through an in-depth case study. The results indicate the importance of mapping between CM approaches and transformational leadership behaviors in terms of enhancing project performance.
