| Abstract: | Based on longitudinal case studies of new technology adoption in five smaller Canadian manufacturing firms, this article develops an inductive process model that views the technology adoption process as a partially nested set of three parallel and interacting sub-processes that are different in nature: the strategic commitment process , the technology choice process and the financial justification process. These processes are intertwined with other strategic decision processes in the firm. |
