In this paper, we develop a theoretical model for the adoption process of Information System Security innovations in organisations. The model stemmed from the Diffusion of Innovation theory (DOI), the Technology Acceptance Model (TAM), the Theory of Planned Behaviour (TPB) and the TechnologyOrganisation-Environment (TOE) framework. The model portrays Information System Security adoption process...

Given the growing prominence of innovation in service sciences and international competitiveness, the context of innovation has emerged in adoption research. This study explores emerging trends of ICT adoption in an innovation context. More specifically, given the increased importance of interorganizational networks in fostering innovation, the study uncovers drivers of adoption of interorganiz...

The adoption and use of information technology (IT) innovations within an organization are critical to deriving the benefits of IT, yet many innovations are underused or never used. Theoretical perspectives that have been used to analyze individual behavior regarding IT usage include innovation diffusion theory (IDT) and the theory of planned behavior (TPB). IDT states that adoption of an innov...

Absorptive capacity generally facilitates the adoption of innovation. How does this relationship change when economic return is not the sole driver of innovation uptake? We investigate whether absorptive capacity facilitates the adoption of green innovation based on a survey of 79 construction companies in Scotland. Based on the results of multiple regression analyses, we confirm that existing ...

Most innovation researchers tend to consider innovation adoption as a binary process, implying that companies have either adopted an innovation or not. In this paper we focus on e-commerce as an innovation that can be adopted stepwise. We distinguish between two levels of e-commerce, basic and advanced. Following Rogers’ (1995) innovation adoption model, we investigate the differences between c...

The emergence of cloud computing is quickly redefining the information technology (IT) and business landscape. Cloud computing involves delivery of IT infrastructure, software and platforms as a service to the end users. This IT acquisition model saves organizations from huge capital expenditures on IT and the burden of keeping a huge IT department to provide system support. Cloud computing as ...


 In times of reform and crisis, innovation is central for adapting to change. Many companies currently adopt open innovation models in an effort to increase their innovativeness. However, not all companies practice identical modes of open innovation and the adoption of open innovation models doesn’t lend itself to predictable cause-and-effect relationships. The adoption of open innovation mode...

this study tries to make a distinction between factors affecting adopters and non-adopters of domestic rainwater harvesting (drwh) in golestan province, iran. in order to better comprehend the differences, nine dimensions were considered in this study, including (1) social background (including respondents’ demographics, water sources, issues in accessing water sources, primary awareness of the...

The next big innovation management theme, what could it possible be? Are we stuck with standardizing the End to End innovation process, using innovation ecosystems and lean forever or is there more to come? There is more to come, the next big thing may be an evolutionary innovation process sucking in all kinds of best practices, it may be white spot anaylsis, helping companies to look beyond th...
