WithUnified Theory of Acceptance and Use of Technology (UTAUT), the present study examinedthe acceptance and the using of Enterprise Resource Planning system by managers. Theparticipants were 31 managers working in cement industry companies. The necessary datawere collected using a questionnaire containing 50 questions. The results showed thatbetweeb managers with innovative cognitive style and adaptive cognitive style about theacceptance, use and implementation of ERP system in cement Firms does not exist asignificant difference.
