Made to Fit: How Practices Vary As They Diffuse
研究了企业实践在扩散过程中如何因组织层面的实施机制而发生变化，分析了技术、文化和政治因素如何影响实践与采纳者之间的匹配，并导致不同的适应模式。
We extend research on the diffusion of corporate practices by providing a framework for studying practice variation during diffusion processes. Specifically, we theorize about how population-level mechanisms of diffusion link with organization-level mechanisms of implementation that lead to the adaptation of practices. We also identify technical, cultural, and political elements of fit (or misfit) between diffusing practices and adopters and analyze how the process of attaining fit across these elements can trigger different patterns of adaptation.
