Organisational Adoption of Innovations

– Management Practices and IT

To adopt, or not to adopt: that is the question. Organisations are constantly facing new innovations both in the form of new techni-cal solutions and new management practices. How to know if the innovation is beneficial or not? The forces influencing organisations are many – mass media, consultants and governmental bodies just to mention a few.

This thesis describes effects of use and reasons for using three different organisational innovations: ISO 9000, Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) and an administrative tool (the YAF-module) in the Swedish Sports Confederation’s system Swe-dish Sports Online.

Furthermore, the thesis compares the interaction patterns between organisation and innovation for the three innovations and discus-ses how decisions are made and implemented, and the consequen-ces for the satisfaction with the innovation.
