Managerial attitudes play an important role in facilitating the championship of innovation adoption. However, there are few empirical studies which show the mediating role of managerial attitudes as a link between innovation determinants and adoption. Based on innovation theory (Rogers, 1983), we posit a conceptual model to show how managers evaluate internal (relative advantage and compatibili...

Studies on the adoption of innovations by companies generally include micro-level and mesolevel variables in order to explain a company’s receptiveness to innovations. This study adds to the literature by investigating the role of macro-level variables (i.e. national culture) to explain differences in innovation penetration levels and adoption decisions by companies across national cultures. A ...

We generalize the classical Bass model of innovation diffusion to include a new class of agents-Luddites-that oppose the spread of innovation. Our model also incorporates ignorants, susceptibles, and adopters. When an ignorant and a susceptible meet, the former is converted to a susceptible at a given rate, while a susceptible spontaneously adopts the innovation at a constant rate. In response ...

We generalize the classical Bass model of innovation diffusion to include a new class of agents— Luddites—that oppose the spread of innovation. Our model also incorporates ignorants, susceptibles, and adopters. When an ignorant and a susceptible meet, the former is converted to a susceptible at a given rate, while a susceptible spontaneously adopts the innovation at a constant rate. In response...

over the past decade open innovation has been of interest to several researchers as one of the innovation management theories. the researchers believe that the adoption and efficacy of this approach are influenced by different internal and external contingencies to the firm. the sector or industry’s contextual properties and institutional environment conditions are those external contingencies ...

XBRL is an emerging innovation that has the potential to play an important role in the electronic production and consumption of financial information. Since the organizational adoption of XBRL is not well understood, we use an exploratory approach grounded in qualitative data to provide an analysis of the reasons for its relatively limited uptake in Australia. Our analysis synthesises a technol...

This article proposes a hypothetical model for determining rate of diffusion of an innovation in a system. The model modifies Everett Rogers’ S-curve using an index created from Gartner’s hype cycle phases. Rogers’ model for technology innovation adoption demonstrates that cumulative technology diffusion in a system from zero through the late majority adopters’ phase forms a curve resembling th...

China has already become the largest mobile communication market in the world. Yet research into what factors drive Chinese consumers adoption of mobile innovation is limited. This study makes efforts to investigate Chinese consumers’ intentions to adopt mobile innovation, with consideration of their cultural characteristics. Face, a core concept in Chinese cultural values is introduced and its...

This paper draws on findings from a longitudinal study of the adoption of a management innovation within an organisational setting. It is based on the findings of a case study that explores and discusses in depth a Knowledge Management programme that was introduced within a large distributed public sector agency in Europe. The aim of this research was to provide insight into the adoption proces...
