Measuring Technology Incorporation/Infusion
Abstract
For a technological innovation to be truly valuable, it must be incorporated within the adopting organization's operational or managerial work systems. Prior studies have examined an aspect of incorporation referred to as routinization (e.g., the adjustment of an organization's governance systems to account for the innovation). In this article, Robert W. Zmud and L. Eugene Apple introduce a second component of incorporation, that of infusion (e.g., the extent to which the full potential of the innovation has been embedded within an organization's operational or managerial work systems). They report findings of a combined quantitative and qualitative study aimed at measuring both the routinization and infusion of electronic scanners in supermarket chains and suggest that infusion can be measured and is distinct from routinization.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
