Organisations are increasingly investing in complex technological innovations, such as enterprise information systems, with the aim of improving the operation of the business, and in this way gaining competitive advantage. However, the implementation of technological innovations tends to have an...

While a number of factors have been highlighted in the innovation adoption literature, little is known about whether different factors are related to innovation adoption in differently-sized firms. We used preliminary case studies of small, medium and large firms to ground our hypotheses, which...

This research, based on four in-depth case studies, probes an overlooked unit of analysis in innovation management literature, namely management action and cognition, and offers a new qualitative contribution into resource allocation approaches that support radical innovation. The interpretivist...

Research has consistently linked organizational inertia to the failure of industry incumbents to prosper or even survive from periods of discontinuous change driven by technological entrepreneurship. Recent work has unbundled the structure of inertia into two key determinants; 'resource...

Given the corporate pursuit of discontinuous and breakthrough change, we work to deconstruct and shed understanding on managers’ failure to formally allocate resources to entrepreneurial activities that seek to deliver disruptive innovations. Using an interpretivist approach with field data...

This paper presents the findings of part of a 30 month investigation, conducted to better understand the persistent failure of management practitioners to fund potentially disruptive innovations. A Mode 2 case study strategy was employed. The iterative transfer of knowledge, between four...

The present study aims to validate the current best-practice model of implementation effectiveness in small and mid-size businesses. Data from 135 organizations largely confirm the original model across various types of innovation. In addition, we extended this work by highlighting the...

The advantages of using a balanced approach to measurement of overall organisational performance are well-known. We examined the effects of a balanced approach in the more specific domain of measuring innovation effectiveness in 144 small to medium sized companies in Australia and Thailand. We...
