Excerpt from Introducing Production Innovation Into an Organization: Structured Methods for Producing Computer Software
Figure 2 presents in diagrammatic form a general framework which the author finds useful in studying the introduction of technological change into a firm. Each of the linkages pictured in Figure 1 is important in determining the success of a production innovation. The major assumption underlying the diagram and the analysis which it engenders, is that use of a process innovation the successful implementation of a managerial decision to innovate in production processes) depends on the degree to which each set of variables characterized by boxes A through F is congruent with each other set. The importance of some of these relationships has been well established in the marketing or the diffusion of innovations literature. Other relationships have been slighted in the traditional research and need to be tested empirically. The study described in this paper covers most of the pictured relationships, albeit to varying degrees. Before that study is described, however, a very brief review is provided of some of the major generalizations which can be made about the relationships pictured in Figure 2, based on academic research.
