“…use binary dummy variables and estimate multi-equation discrete choice models with error components for each strategies' unobservable returns and control for unobserved correlation among the different adoption equations. Similar approaches are used inKretschmer, Miravete and Pernías (2012),Arora, Forman and Yoon (2010), andGentzkow (2007).…”

“…Comparatively low switching costs are described by Krishnan and Bhattacharya (2002) in the Dell battery technology case, Bhattacherjee et al (2012) in the web browser market, Zhou et al (2015) in the mobile instant messaging market. In contrast, high switching costs are described by Arora et al (2010) in a study of internet applications and LAN-based operating systems, as well as Augereau and Greenstein (2001) in a study of the adoption of 56K modems. Kauffman et al (2000) describe varied technology adoption costs for ATM networks, while Matzler et al (2015) examine the impact of varied switching costs on the customer satisfaction with IT.…”

Managerial decisions on the adoption of innovative technologies by a firm are made under conditions of uncertainty and must account for network externalities that imply the benefit of a technology is received not only from its intrinsic payoff, but also from the size of the network of other adopters. The theoretical model presented in this study demonstrates that for firms evaluating information technology investment with network effects key determinants of the technology selection pattern are adoption reversibility and switching costs. If switching costs are sufficiently high to make technology adoption irreversible then safer established technologies have an advantage as choosing a riskier untested technology opens the firm to the risk of being stranded without a network of followers. With lower switching costs, the technology adoption decision is reversible which provides an advantage to riskier untested technologies. A discussion of empirical evidence on adoption patterns in information technology provides application for the theoretical model.

“…In this line of reasoning similar findings have been reported by Fabiani [157] who claims that adoption is just one comport of a complex process of change. Furthermore, it has been emphasized that complementarities between multiple technologies should be taken into account while it could affect the adoption decision of (multiple) technologies when it complements or substitutes a technology [167][168][169]. Next, to enable adoption, to develop complementary assets and capabilities and to benefit from innovation, organizations need to learn to adjust the organization to the innovation which it intends to adopt [170].…”

Innovation adoption is of utmost importance for company survival. That is why it is important to develop a thorough understanding of this research domain and the themes it encapsulates. Since the early work of Everett Rogers, the adoption of innovation literature has attracted considerable attention and has continued to grow rapidly, resulting in a large but fragmented body of literature. The goal of this study is to provide a coherent overview of the theoretical cornerstones as well as recent research trends in the innovation adoption literature. To this end, we conducted a bibliometric review and performed bibliographic coupling and co-citation analysis. First, based on co-citation analysis, we illustrate that innovation adoption research is built on four theoretical cornerstones including: institutional theory; theory of reasoned action; theory concerning the determinants of adoption, and; diffusion theory. Second, bibliographic coupling was used to assess the current research trends. This review is the first to identify thematic areas in an exhaustive manner revealing five clusters of thematic related publications or "research trends": determinants of IT adoption; adoption of technological standards; organizational rationales associated with adoption; modelling diffusion, and; adoption of agricultural innovations. We conclude this review with the limitations and future research orientations in the field of innovation adoption.
