Information Technology Implementation Research: A Technological Diffusion Approach
基于创新和技术扩散文献，识别并实证检验了生产与库存控制信息系统（物料需求计划MRP）实施中的管理任务与信息技术互动对采纳和渗透的影响。
Based on the innovation and technological diffusion literatures, promising research questions concerning the implementation of a production and inventory control information system (material requirements planning: MRP) are identified and empirically examined. These questions focus on the interaction of managerial tasks with the information technology and the resulting effect on the adoption and infusion of that technology. Using a random sample of manufacturing firms across the United States, we find that this interaction does indeed affect the adoption of MRP, though it does not seem to affect MRP infusion. These results support the notion that though rational decision models may be useful in explaining information technology adoption, political and learning models may be more useful when examining infusion.
