“…A number of sources can be included as a literature source component. Korson and Vaishnavi (1992) Figure 2, page 103) illustrate a number of examples. Figure 5b) illustrates an example of the literature source component using its TDL specification.…”

“…Thirdly, knowledge acquisition cannot be avoided, but tracking and organising such knowledge for a literature review can be difficult, particularly in mature fields. Some frameworks and models (FMs) classify software methodologies for various purposes, such as research surveying of CASE technology (Dart, et al, 1987;Fuggetta, 1993), research surveying of modelling methods (Doroshenko, 1994;livari, 1995;Monarchi and Puhr, 1992;Roper, 1995), evaluation of software process modelling (McChesney, 1995), and technology transfer (Korson and Vaishnavi, 1992). Although the FMs assist knowledge acquisition and research surveying of a subject, they tend to be specific to their subject and lack sufficient generalisation for application in other subjects.…”

To enhance research surveying in software methodologies, a model is introduced that can indicate field maturity based on vocabulary and relevant literature. This model is developed by drawing analogies with software methodologies. Two analogies are used: software models and software life cycles or processes. How this model can reduce research surveying problems for researchers is described using extracts from application results as examples. Although the model does support research surveying activities, it cannot choose the subject for the researcher. AJIS Vol. 6 No. 2 May 1999 has a conceptual model of the method process, and a representation model of modelling notation. Monarchi and Puhr (1992) associate modelling concepts with their graphic representation. Dependencies can further organise FM parts. These include include: Classification; one FM part is a more general form of another FM part. e.g. McChesney (1995) has classification dependency for specific concepts, such as style (AI, Petri net, functional, OO) and notation (text or graphic). Aggregation; one FM part is composed of, or part of, another FM part. e.g. Henderson-Sellers and Edwards (1990) have subdivision aggregate dependency, where a phase (Build) is composed of more specific phases (Coding, Program testing, Program use).

“…A review of current literature [10,17,18,34,36,37], a cross focus group analysis of three group discussions in three companies, and our long experience in this area suggest that effective STT in the context of recipients should be considered as a process of twelve interlinked activities. Some of them are executed in a chronological order, while others occur concurrently.…”

“…Software businesses are under pressure for more efficient, on time, and within budget product development [10,17,18,36,37]. Customers are increasing their demands and their needs and preferences of software products and services are changing fast.…”

“…Transferring software technology through ad hoc processes is relatively slow and costly and encounters many unexpected obstacles [34]. Due to a variety of reasons the STT results in ineffective use (or even nonuse) of software technology [10,17,18,36,37]. Furthermore, STT is a complex endeavor due to the number and nature of activities and tasks involved and the risks, uncertainties, and costs faced.…”

This study examines how software businesses are acquiring new software technology innovations (STIs) in rapidly changing globalized business environment characterized by rapidly shortening software technology life cycles, changing customer demands, and intense competition. It was executed through both theoretical and empirical investigations and analyses. It describes one case company as an example of the diffusion of STI and develops a framework for the diffusion of software technology innovation. The research findings are useful for both further research and industrial settings.
