Information and Profitability Estimates: Modelling the Firm's Decision to Adopt a New Technology
利用基于突变理论的响应面，分析信息与盈利估计如何共同影响企业采用新技术或创新的决策，并给出模拟数据示例以说明关键构念的操作化方法。
This paper uses a response surface based on catastrophe theory to examine the interaction of information and profitability estimates on the firm's adoption of a new technology or innovation. As such, the paper builds on the conceptual ideas behind McCardle's (1985) work. An illustrative example using simulated data is presented to indicate how one might operationalize the key constructs for the purpose of estimating the model.
