“…Included are efforts carried out under such headings as educational reform (Sizer, 1984), school renewal (Bassin, Gross, and Jordan, 1979), educational innovation (Allan and Wolf, 1978), and school improvement (Huberman and Miles, 1984). So too we are confronted with a growing number of concepts relating to change in educational settings.…”

“…Perceived compatibility is an attribute of innovations that affects the adoption and diffusion of an innovation (Allan & Wolf 1978); high levels of perceived compatibility "with a previously introduced idea" (Rogers 2003: 244) can lead to misadoption. The perceived compatibility between an innovation and the "previously introduced idea" (Rogers 2003: 244) can cause difficulties and unforeseen challenges with implementation and use of the innovation as well as changes to the organization itself (Rogers 2003).…”

Academic libraries are among the organizations advocating for open educational resources (OER), often playing a key campus role in education, advocacy, and support of their creation and publication. Publication of OER resonates with the role of the academic library. Because "incongruence in perceptions" (Chtena 2019: 24) can cause difficulties and unforeseen challenges with implementation and use of OER, organizations involved in OER initiatives need familiarity with how OER and organizational values align. The goal of this exploration was to investigate how academic libraries enact academic library publishing programs and the ramification that has in the diffusion process of OER in higher education. Data collected in this single case study research project was analyzed through the lens of Diffusion of Innovations Theory. The findings from the study suggest that, if academic libraries are to enact the creation and publication of OER in ways appropriate to their conception, those involved will need to be intentional about ensuring enactment of the values foundational to OER. Future suggested research includes a multiple-case study comparative research study looking at academic library publication of OER, exploration of how opinion leaders and attributes of innovations impact academic library publication of OER, and investigation into the impact of organizational structure on the diffusion of OER creation and publication.

“…Rogers (2003) identifies the perceived attributes of innovations which comprised of relative advantages, compatibility, complexity, trialability, and observability. It has been proved that those attributes have significant relationships with the adoption of technologies (Allan and Wolf, 1978;Rogers, 2003). This model has been used widely by researchers and practitioners to assess the rate of adoption (Yap and Souder, 1993;Pankratz et al, 2002).…”

AbstractPurpose -The purpose of this paper is to develop a multiple-perspective model for technology assessment, apply it to mobile broadband technologies selection in China and give recommendations based on the assessment results. Design/methodology/approach -A multiple-perspective model for technology assessment using HDM is developed based on literature review and experts suggestions. Data are collected from a survey on China telecom experts. Findings -TD-SCDMA got the highest score because of its potential political and social effects, and WCDMA and CDMA2000 following with close scores. While for WiMAX and 4G, Chinese experts showed relatively lack of confidence. Originality/value -This paper presents a new multiple-perspective model that can be generally applied to technology assessment problems at organizational level. BackgroundChina launched analog mobile services (1G, the first generation) in 1987 and then moved to digital services (2G, the second generation) based on global system for mobile (GSM) communications standard in the early 1990s (Gao and Damsgaard, 2007). According to the reports from the Ministry of Information Industry (MII) of China, the subscriber number has grown from only three million in 1990 to over 540 million at the end of 2007. As the mobile industry began globally evolving from 2G to 3G (the third generation), China's selection on mobile broadband technologies became a hot issue.Since, the 1970s mobile network technologies have experienced several exciting innovations. The first-generation (1G) cellular systems, dating back to the 1970s and becoming widely popular in the 1980s, were based on analog frequency modulation technology primarily for voice application. And at that time there was no worldwide standard. The second-generation (2G) cellular systems characterized by using digital signals were developed and installed in the early 1990s. The technologies of 2G include European standard GSM, the US standards IS-54/TDMA (Time Division Multiple Access) and IS-95/CDMA (Code Division Multiple Access), and the Japanese standard The current issue and full text archive of this journal is available at
