| Abstract: | It is empirically tested whether different models are needed to predict the adoption of technical process innovations that contain a high degree of new knowledge and a low degree of knowledge. Results suggest that the extensive knowledge depth is important for the adoption of both innovation types. Associations between the adoption of either innovation type and decentralized decision making,managerial attitudes toward change and exposure to external information were not found. Investment in human capital in the form of technical specialists appears to be a major facilitator of technical process innovation adaptation. |
