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.
