Overcoming Innovation Resistance beyond Status Quo Bias - A Decision Support System Approach (Research-in-Progress)
نویسندگان
چکیده
When innovative products and services are launched to the market, many consumers initially resist adopting them, even if the innovation is likely to enhance their life quality. Explanations for this behavior can also be found in specific personality traits and in general pitfalls of human decisionmaking. We believe that decision support systems (DSS) can help alleviate such innovation resistance. We propose a DSS design that addresses innovation resistance to complex innovations on an individual’s cognitive level. An experimental study will be conducted to test the influence of different DSS modifications on the perception and selection of complex innovations. We aim to identify levers for reducing innovation resistance and to derive DSS design implications.

Investigating User Resistance to Information Systems Implementation: a Status Quo Bias Perspective
User resistance to Information Systems (IS) implementation has been identified as a salient reason for the failure of new IS and hence needs to be understood and managed. While previous research has explored the reasons for user resistance, there are gaps in our understanding of how users evaluate change related to a new IS and decide to resist it. Particularly, missing in the explanation of us...
متن کاملOvercoming status quo bias in the human brain.
Humans often accept the status quo when faced with conflicting choice alternatives. However, it is unknown how neural pathways connecting cognition with action modulate this status quo acceptance. Here we developed a visual detection task in which subjects tended to favor the default when making difficult, but not easy, decisions. This bias was suboptimal in that more errors were made when the ...
متن کاملProbabilistic dominance and status quo bias
Decision makers have a strong tendency to retain the status quo unless an alternative which may be a significant improvement comes along. This well-documented phenomenon is termed status quo bias. In many complicated choice problems governed by a status quo, decision makers consider alternatives that yield inferior outcomes in some criteria if they simultaneously yield improvements in a set of ...
متن کاملBias in Favor of the Status Quo
People favor the existing and longstanding states of the world. Rational explanations for status quo maintenance are complemented by a number of non-rational mechanisms; loss aversion, regret avoidance, repeated exposure, and rationalization create a preference for existing states. We show that the status quo also benefits from a simple assumption of goodness due to mere existence and longevity...
متن کاملNever Change a Running System? How Status Quo-Thinking can Inhibit Software as a Service Adoption in Organizations
Despite the “buzz” about Software as a Service (SaaS), decision makers still often refrain from replacing their existing in-house technologies with innovative IT services. Industry reports indicate that the skeptical attitude of decision makers stems primarily from a high degree of uncertainty that exists, for example, due to insufficient experience with the new technology, a lack of best pract...
