This framework focuses on the process by which a firm adopts and implements technological innovations and how the technological context, the organisational context, and the environmental context can affect the implementation of new innovation.
Implementation of new interventions among communities must factor in the possibilities of transformation and/or emergence of new innovations beyond those initially conceptualised as implementation progresses.
Rogers [ 56] has suggested that the adoption of new innovations is highly influenced by the innovation characteristics and has described five perceived attributes of the implementation object: relative advantage, compatibility, complexity, trialability, and observability.
This study, however, suggests that implementation of this new innovation might have some positive and negative consequences.
The study findings should therefore be interpreted temporally, and it could be that in a more static climate, service improvement projects are more successful; however, the interplay of factors that can affect adoption and implementation of new and complex innovations are likely to require an improvement approach that is embedded into service design, as opposed to a standalone project.
(a) In technology-driven businesses, the profit is fully dependent on the creation or implementation of new technology (Sipp 2011) or innovations in the use or deployment of existing technology.
In a recent post, Dennis Goin described a new way of accelerating the implementation of new strategies and driving innovation.
The paper concludes that innovation and implementation of new, energy-efficient technologies in the building industry requires new policies, better regulations and reformed practices in the industry itself.
