Conceptual Framework (2)

The conceptual framework that I outlined in my last posting referred to:

The conceptual framework and some questions I have now decided on are:

A case study exploring organizational behaviour and the diffusion of innovations: What factors enhance the likelihood of successful implementation and routinization?

  • How do we know when an innovation has been implemented and how successful the implementation has been?
  • What accounts for successful implementation
  • Why some organizational innovations fail to survive in organizations?

I have amended it as follows (in the light of further reading and thinking):

A case study exploring organizational behaviour and the diffusion of innovations: An investigation into the factors that enhance the likelihood of successful innovation implementation and routinization.

Some (potential) research questions:

  • What organizational factors are likely to lead to the successful implementation of organizational innovations?
  • Why do innovations fail or fail to survive in organizations?
  • What measures can be used to determine the success of an implementation?
  • What are the critical roles needed to ensure successful implementation?
  • How do organizational social networks affect the implementation of innovations?
  • How do innovations become routinized into everyday work?

The next stage is to work up the aims and objectives.
