Synopsis
Excerpt from Exploiting Opportunities for Technological: Improvement in Organizations
Our main findings are consistent with the pattern described in Figure 2. First, we found that installation of a new process technology was followed by an immediate and relatively brief burst of adaptation efforts. Thereafter, such efforts fell off precipitously. Thus, experimentation was more likely to occur and significant changes more apt to be implemented immediately following introduction than at any later time. This rapid fall-off of adaptive activity was apparently not a simple learning curve phenomenon, as it occurred even when outstanding problems had not been fully addressed.
