Methodologies Choice and Adoption: Using Diffusion of Innovations as the Theoretical Framework
نویسنده
چکیده
This goal of this paper is to represent the method choice and adoption factors in two organizations over the 43 years period. General theoretical framework, chosen research approach, the research problems concerning method choice, implementation and use (adoption), the research methodology, related research and historical background of the organizations are represented. Methods for validity and reliability checking of the data sources are checked. The method choice using the theory of Diffusion of Innovations is taken as a focal point in this research.

Methodology Choice and Adoption: Using the Diffusion of Innovations Theory (DOI) as the Theoretical Framework
This paper examines method adoption factors in three organisations and their three specific locales over a 43-year-period. The collected data covers the said 43 years, which were divided into four time periods, or phases, that are concurrent with the four computer generations, as described in Friedman and Cronford (1989).

متن کاملDetailed Review of Rogers’ Diffusion of Innovations Theory and Educational Technology-related Studies Based on Rogers’ Theory
The process of adopting new innovations has been studied for over 30 years, and one of the most popular adoption models is described by Rogers in his book, Diffusion of Innovations (Sherry & Gibson, 2002). Much research from a broad variety of disciplines has used the model as a framework. Dooley (1999) and Stuart (2000) mentioned several of these disciplines as political science, public health...
متن کاملOrganizational Adoption of Innovation: Identifying Factors that Influence RFID Adoption in the Healthcare Industry
In this paper, we endeavor to make two specific contributions to research on the adoption of innovations. First, we propose a typology of innovations and suggest that theory-driven adoption research should strive to match innovation types with theories that have related explanatory emphases. We propose this overarching framework for innovation adoption research because different innovations hav...
