The Adoption of Technological, Administrative, and Ancillary Innovations: Impact of Organizational Factors
研究公共图书馆中六个组织因素对三类创新（技术、管理、辅助）采纳的影响，发现所有因素对技术创新的预测力最强，专业化和组织冗余对技术创新的影响更大，而管理强度和规模对管理创新影响更大。
The influence of six organizationalfactors on the adoption of three types of innovations was examined in public libraries. It wasfound that (a) all factors together were a better predictor of technological than administrative or ancillary innovations, and (b) specialization and organizational slack had a stronger effect on technological innovations than the other two types, whereas administrative intensity and organizational size had a stronger effect on administrative innovations. It is concluded that differentiation between types of innovations and stages of adoption is essential in developing realistic theories of organizational innovations.
