Given the important but largely unstudied role of contextual influences on the diffusion of innovations, theories and methodologies which take context into account are increasingly relevant. One such approach, the system of innovation approach (SIA), considers context as a network of organizations and groups involved in the production and diffusion of innovations. In addition to the focal innov...

business process reengineering (bpr) –the key mechanism for fundamental redesign in processes has a critical role in productivity improvement. but it needs some enablers in initiation phase including human resources acceptance. there are two behavioral theories containing factors for acceptance promotion: innovation diffusion and technology acceptance model. in this research we have used these ...

In this paper, a stochastic diffusion model of a Financial Innovation introducing to a financial institute is presented in order to validate the influence of the diffusion speed in any business line with different rates. The paper is structured in three sections. In section 1 we discuss and analyzing the FI and in section 2 we represent a stochastic process that shows the diffusion of FI, with ...

The academic literature on the growth acceleration of new products presents a paradox. On the one hand, the diffusion literature concludes that more recently introduced products show faster diffusion than older ones. On the other hand, technology generation literature argues that growth rate, at least as measured by diffusion parameters, remains constant across generations. We resolve this appa...

Employing the literature on IT governance and the structuration theory of technology assimilation, this research develops a conceptual model to examine decision execution mechanisms of IT governance in post-adoption stages of CRM diffusion, i.e. CRM use, impacts on business processes, and impacts on firm performance. While the literature mainly addresses the forms and contingencies of IT govern...

European Journal of Information Systems (2006) 15, 116–119. doi:10.1057/palgrave.ejis.3000610 While agility has recently attracted considerable attention in studies of systems development and management of information technology (IT), there is limited recognition within the information systems discipline of the important impact agility has already had on organizational studies in general. The e...

The goal of this paper is to theoretically account for business cycle asymmetries of deepness and steepness. The former means that recessions are deeper than expansions are tall, and the latter that recessions are steeper than expansions. In this paper I introduce the process of technology diffusion and learning like general purpose technology in the framework of real business cycles. I assume ...

Purpose – Innovation and the process of diffusion have been widely acknowledged as hinging upon the complex social psychological process. Invariably, such a process manifests itself in the form of “climate” in an organisation, which influences people’s behaviours. The purpose of this paper is to empirically investigate the roles of a facet-specific climate, namely “climate for innovation” in de...
