EFFECTIVE INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY INTRODUCTION: THE ROLES OF KNOWLEDGE AND COMMUNICATION

Research output: Contribution to conference › Paper › peer-review

Abstract

Improving the process of finding and acquiring new information technology (IT) has been called “one of the most persistently challenging topics in the IT field” (Fichman 1992, p. 95). In order to improve the process, we must first identify the components imbedded within it. We employ the concept of absorptive capacity (Cohen and Levinthal 1990) to focus and synthesize research in innovation, communication, and organizational learning in order to address the question: What are the roles of knowledge and communication during the new IT introduction process?.
