Abstract

Contrary to certain previous assertions that the results of innovation research are inconsistent, a review of studies of the impact of organizational factors on the adoption of innovations along three dimensions (innovation type, innovation radicalness, and stages of adoption) suggests that, when categories within each dimension are distinguished, a considerable agreement in research results is evidenced. Based on an analysis of the interaction among these dimensions, the development of realistic theories of innovation adoption in organizations is possible if future studies: (a) systematically differentiate among the dimensions, (b) recognize differences between types of organizations with respect to innovation, and (c) consider the adoption of innovations within the larger concept of organizational effectiveness or performance.

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.
