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...

Public sector organisations are increasingly becoming aware of the need to harness the innovative capacity of their employees. In the UK many public sector research institutes have put in place processes to increase the speed at which new technological innovations are exploited and commercialised. These types of initiatives have also been implemented into public sector service organisations. Fo...

Abstract The problem of dynamic reconstruction of an unknown coordinate in a system of nonlinear equations describing the process of innovation diffusion from results of observations of phase state is considered. An algorithm for solving this problem, which is stable with respect to informational noises and computational errors, is suggested. The algorithm is based on the principle of auxiliary...

Some researchers have proposed that practices facilitating learning and knowledge transfer are particularly important to innovation. Some of the practices that researchers have studied include how organizations collaborate with other organizations, how organizations promote learning, and how an organization’s culture facilitates knowledge transfer and learning. And while some have proposed the ...

Despite the wideness of the literature on technological innovation, the diffusion of the supply chain collaborative technology innovation has not still received much attention. This paper is an attempt to answer the question that how the supply chain collaborative technological innovations emerge and diffuse. An agent-based model of collaborative supply chain technological innovation including ...

National innovation systems are influencing the path of innovation diffusion like e-business. Important enablers of e-business diffusion are IT mature and innovation friendly enterprises. An indicator of IT maturity is the diffusion of former innovations like electronic data interchange (EDI). The innovation adoption behavior can be described as the adopting date after occurrence of an innovati...

Many innovation studies focus on adoption behaviors at the individual and organizational level, while studies examine innovation adoption at the community and population level is relatively limited. These studies, focusing on the diffusion of an innovation across organizations, are important as they illustrate the dynamics of adoption behaviors in a broader context of socio-political factors. I...
