Abstract

Innovation has become not only the domain of a few progressive enterprises but the key to survival and success of the many. Innovative changes in management practices can assist in ensuring survival in an increasingly competitive world. The management systems in place are critical to exploiting technological, process, and product innovations. This empirical study of 379 organizations compares organizations in various stages of adoption. An administrative innovation approach is used in order to examine the internal effects of adoption. Specific issues evaluated are the effects on users regarding satisfaction with training, involvement and participation and the MIS/User interface. Nonadopters are found to lack accurate information regarding the costs and standards of EDI. Management attitude is found to increase in importance across the adoption stages. In comparing early and late adopters, significant differences are found particularly regarding information output, participation and involvement. Timing difficulties are found not to relate to product factors but to user issues. The study provides recommendations for overcoming these difficulties and evaluates the administrative innovation approach to investigating systems adoption.

创新采用EDI

创新已经不仅仅是少数进步企业的领域，而是许多企业生存和成功的关键。管理实践的创新变化有助于确保在竞争日益激烈的世界中生存。适当的管理系统对于开发技术、过程和产品创新至关重要。本文对379个组织进行了实证研究，比较了不同采用阶段的组织。本文采用了一种行政创新方法来考察采用的内部效应。评价的具体问题是对用户对培训、参与和管理信息系统/用户界面的满意程度的影响。不采用EDI的人缺乏关于EDI成本和标准的准确信息。研究发现，管理态度在整个采用阶段的重要性日益增加。在比较早期采用者和后期采用者时，发现了显著差异，特别是在信息输出、参与和参与方面。发现时机困难与产品因素无关，而与用户问题有关。本研究提供了克服这些困难的建议，并评价了调查系统采用的行政创新方法。

期刊介绍： Accounts of Chemical Research presents short, concise and critical articles offering easy-to-read overviews of basic research and applications in all areas of chemistry and biochemistry. These short reviews focus on research from the author’s own laboratory and are designed to teach the reader about a research project. In addition, Accounts of Chemical Research publishes commentaries that give an informed opinion on a current research problem. Special Issues online are devoted to a single topic of unusual activity and significance. Accounts of Chemical Research replaces the traditional article abstract with an article "Conspectus." These entries synopsize the research affording the reader a closer look at the content and significance of an article. Through this provision of a more detailed description of the article contents, the Conspectus enhances the article's discoverability by search engines and the exposure for the research.
