Social innovation (SI) is a potential solution to various problems and challenges in the agriculture sector. Agri-tech start-ups can be considered important agents for developing SI In Indonesia, agri-tech are also expected develop sustainable agricultural development medium-term national plan 2020–2024. Using multiple case studies, this paper attempts complement currently available literature ...

Structured Abstract Purpose – This paper is an extension to a previous empirical study that modelled the process of innovation diffusion in Australian architectural and engineering design (AED) firms. The present study utilised explanatory case studies to assist in the verification of this empirical model, which depicted pathways that explain the role of enabling 'climate for innovation' constr...

The process of innovation involves getting new ideas accepted and new technologies adopted and used. A number of approaches to the theorising of technological innovation exist, but this article will compare and contrast just two: Innovation Diffusion and Innovation Translation, giving examples of how each approach is used in different situations. While there are many advantages to use of a Tran...

There are various studies on the eco-innovation in the literature, but there is a scarcity of studies on the adoption and diffusion within manufacturing small and medium-size enterprises (SMEs). Drivers to adopt eco-innovations by manufacturing SMEs are required to be understood properly and be analyzed regarding the relationships among them. Hence, the purpose of this study is to identify the ...

This short paper examines the way in which the electronic repertoire of contention for online social movements is being built, and the means by which it will continue to evolve. Drawing on the work of Tilly and Tarrow, a number of possible explanations are examined for innovation within the online activist space, and for the diffusion of that innovation. Analysis suggests that several of the cu...

In this paper, the authors examine the process of diffusion of innovation ICT within agrarian business enterprises operating in developing countries. There is substantial research in the area of Diffusion of Innovation Theory (DoI) and its application to Information Systems (IS) research within organisations. However, in recognition of the conceptual limitations of DoI, researchers have called ...

The adoption and use of information technology (IT) innovations within an organization are critical to deriving the benefits of IT, yet many innovations are underused or never used. Theoretical perspectives that have been used to analyze individual behavior regarding IT usage include innovation diffusion theory (IDT) and the theory of planned behavior (TPB). IDT states that adoption of an innov...

Innovation diffusion theory suggests that consumers differ concerning the number of contacts they have and the degree and the direction to which social influences determine their choice to adopt. To test the impacts of these factors on innovation diffusion, in particular the occurrence of hits and flops, a new agent-based model for innovation diffusion is introduced. This model departs from exi...

The study reported here is a secondary analysis of data collected in 10 schools as part of Israel’s participation in two international studies: IEA’s SITES Module 2, focusing on innovative pedagogical practices at the classroom level, and the OECD/CERI case studies of ICT and organizational innovation, focusing on ICT-related innovations at the school system level. We identify and analyze two p...

Much work in electronic government (eGovernment) research was done on innovations from a single-organisational managerial perspective, while little was investigated into sectoral innovation and diffusion processes in public sector organisations. Here, a political science perspective appreciates the embeddedness of public sector innovation and diffusion processes in the surrounding politico-admi...
