Abstract:
|
Management innovation is the introduction of new management practices, processes, techniques or
organizational structures that significantly alter the way the work of management is performed. This paper
examines a particular characteristic of management innovation: i.e. pervasiveness. Based on the behavioral
theory of the firm, the determinants of firms’ adoption of pervasive management innovations are explored.
I find that performance shortfalls have a direct positive effect on the pervasiveness of adopted innovations.
Likewise, I find a direct effect of education level, richness of internal communication and CEO novelty on
pervasiveness. |
