摘要: 雖然物件導向技術極有可能成為軟體開發程序的產業標準,可是大部分企業在採用物件導向技術的態度上仍然保守,部分已採用者仍屬小規模的試驗。為理解上述現象,本研究從檢視新興資訊科技的浮現特質入手,引用並擴充技術關連性這個新概念,也就是組織整合在不同時點所採用的技術以產生綜效的可能性。植基於技術關連性的一項合理推論是:組織欲採用新技術時,若技術變遷已趨緩(技術成熟度較高),或與組織過去投資的技術相容(技術累積較高),則整合後的可能綜效將促使組織採用該技術並普及實施;反之,若該技術尚未成熟,或是與組織在過去所累積的技術不相容時,組織可能因採用該技術的綜效有限,而缺乏積極採用與實施的意願。實証的結果顯示,技術累積與技術成熟度對創新實施程度有顯著的影響。

The Temporal Effects of Technology Accumulation and Technological Maturity on the Adoption and Implementation of Emerging Information Technology


Abstract: Object-Oriented Technology has been espoused as potential industrial platform to improve software development process. However, it has not been adopted as widely and as rapidly as many having predicted. To explain this paradoxical phenomenon, we propose a newer concept of technological inter-relatedness. During a long process of rapid technical progress, many related innovations were introduced in industry or adopted by firms at different times. These interrelated innovations adopted in the past by firms may either complement each other in achieving synergistic effects (a technology accumulation case), or constrain the current adoption of new technology for lacking such synergistic effects (a technology burden case). We believe that, in the presence of a set of emerging innovations, an innovation is more likely to be adopted by firms if it complements the technology base of the interested firms, or belongs to a set of interrelated innovations that are more matured. The results of an empirical study moderately support our hypotheses.
