We investigate a theoretical model that combines two streams of research in IT adoption. The first is the institutional theoryperspective, which provides the institutional pressures that induce a firm to align itself with the members of the institution ofwhich it is a part. The second is the learning perspective on organization, which has been used to study firm characteristicsthat promote technology assimilation; it provides the mediating factor of absorptive capacity. In this study we empiricallystudy the role of institutional factors as they are mediated by absorptive capacity in the assimilation of Web 2.0 technologies.Linear structural equation model using formative constructs …

The knowledge-based view of the firm has motivated a rich stream of research on how social factors impact knowledge acquisition by firms.

In this study of small and medium firms, we investigate the assimilation of three different software systems that support manufacturing. Data has been …
