Organizational Assimilation of Innovations: A Multilevel Contextual Analysis
研究将创新同化概念化为九步过程,通过追踪六年内300个潜在采纳案例,提出组织同化受情境、创新属性及二者交互影响。
This study examined the assimilation of innovations into organizations, a process unfolding in a series of decisions to evaluate, adopt, and implement new technologies. Assimilation was conceptualized as a nine-step process and measured by tracking 300 potential adoptions through organizations during a six-year period. We advance a model suggesting that organizational assimilation of technological innovations is determined by three classes of antecedents: contextual attributes, innovation attributes, and attributes arising from the interaction of contexts and innovations.
