Technology Features As Triggers For Sensemaking, Terri L. Griffith

Management & Entrepreneurship

Technology implementation is complex and often unpredictable. Although previous research describes mechanisms related to the social construction of technology and technology use in organizations, researchers have focused little on the inputs to these models. In this article I attempt to fill this void by examining triggers for initial user sensemaking. The prediction of sensemaking should enhance the application of theories, such as adaptive structuration, and inform the management of technology through greater anticipation of user understanding.

The Effect Of Technological Environment And Competitive Strategy On Licensing Decisions, Matthew H. Roy, Sanjiv S. Dugal

WCBT Faculty Publications

The expectation that firms that have a high differentiation strategy will also have low levels of licensing is not supported. For business units (BU) with products in the growth stages, the competitive strategy of the BU did not significantly affect licensing decisions. The results are not too surprising when one considers new technological advancements and global competition. A company may perceive its technological advantage as transitory and expect rapid imitation by competitors. In such a case, the company might want to license the innovation as quickly as possible to gain global acceptance. It is shown that when products mature, the …

Achieving Potential In Hospital Mergers, Sister Nancy Linenkugel

Student Scholarship

This applied research project focused on hospital mergers and the combination of "business" and "people" factors that allow full potential to be achieved.

We sought to examine whether or not both factors were necessary in order for the merger to reach full potential. "Merger" was defined as the creation of a single entity out of two in which there is movement of services or staff. A "merger stabilization model" was developed that predicted potential merger synergy as dependent upon "people" fit and "business" fit. Four merged …
