Description

Although the diffusion of innovation theory and related research dates back to 1962, there have been few studies that focus on the innovative impact of a selected technology. Specifically, enterprise resource planning systems are not typically regarded as innovative, as measured by a multidimensional construct of knowledge and skills as well as information and communication. The innovative nature of the enterprise resource planning system is dependent on the infusion level of the individual user. This study hypothesizes that a greater level of infusion results in increased individual innovation. In addition, information quality and system quality are hypothesized to be positively related to higher levels of infusion.
