This book discusses adoptive management innovation, which has been successfully implemented in other areas. It proposes a theory on this field by considering the importance and popularity of adoptive management innovation in China and around the globe, and focusing on its nature. It also establishes a process framework through which adoptive management innovation occurs, explores how individual characteristics of individual managers affect their adoption decision, examines the effects of a firm’s dynamic capability on each phase of adoptive innovation, and addresses how intangible management innovation supports the process of tangible product innovation to produce effects. By exploring the process, adoption decision, drivers and effects of adoptive management innovation, the book offers abundant applications for managerial practice.

When Innovation is considered one of the key drivers of corporate success, why do organisations struggle to implement it? Research suggests that innovations fail due to a lack of acceptance by employees; therefore an understanding of potential adopters and the factors influencing their decisions is essential. Despite much research on adoption of innovation by an organization, very little is known about its acceptance by individuals within it. Managing Innovation Adoption is about managing technological innovation implementation at work in an effective way by presenting a new theoretical framework. Based on the theory of reasoned action (TRA), the technology acceptance model (TAM) and other conceptual frameworks, Dr Talukder’s enhanced model combines factors from existing and original models to create a coherent new model. The data collected proves that it can be used to assist a broader understanding of how people in an organization adopt and use innovations. As well as contributing to academic knowledge, the author’s discoveries have practical implications for organizations, managers, administrators and employees.

There are many advantages to incorporating digital services in business, including improved data management, higher transparency, personalized customer service, and cost reduction. Innovation is a key driver to how digital services are formed, developed, delivered, and used by consumers, employees, and employers. The largest differentiator comes from having a digitally empowered workforce. Companies increasingly need digital workers to establish greater digital skills to bear on every activity. Business leaders especially need to steer digital priorities, drive innovation, and develop digital platforms. Leadership, Management, and Adoption Techniques for Digital Service Innovation is an essential reference source that discusses the adoption of digital services in multiple industries and presents digital technologies to address and further advance innovation to drive successful solutions. Featuring research on topics such as cloud computing, digital business, and value creation, this book is ideally designed for managers, leaders, executives, directors, IT consultants, academicians, researchers, industry professionals, students, and practitioners.

Those managing organisations are often criticised for being ‘faddish’ in their use of new management ideas or innovations, too easily falling into the trap of adopting the latest new idea or concept because it is ‘flavour of the month’. This research-based report presents an in-depth account and analysis of the adoption and implementation of two popular large-scale managerial innovations in four different organisations. It provides case studies of actual adoption and implementation of the balanced scorecard and programme/project management offices. The study explores the reasons for the adoption of the innovations and how these reasons shape implementation success. The report also provides examples of good practice that practising managers use to improve the implementation of new management practices in their own organisations. Presents an original research-based study that explores the reasons why organisations adopt new management practices (e.g. balanced scorecard and programme/project management offices) Links the reasons for adoption with the success of implementation Provides examples of good practice that can improve the implementation of new management practices in organisations

A how-to-guide to get others in your organization to accept new technologies, processes, regulations, management, etc.
