Literature and focus Sample Clauses

Literature and focus. The focus and the theoretical foundations used within the IOS literature are diverse. In their comprehensive review of IOS research, Xxxxx et al (2008) find three main issues which have received the most focus: - Adoption: What factors influences the organizational adoption of IOS - Transaction governance: The impact of IOS on governance over economic transactions - Organizational consequences: The organizational consequences of IOS Xxxxx et al (2008) further address each of the three issues and finds the different theoretical foundations used. What is obvious is that the theoretical foundation used is varying and numerous. First, studies of IOS adoption by organizations rely primarily on the classical theory of diffusion of innovations. Second, the research which addresses the transaction governance issue mainly utilizes transaction cost economics. Other theories which are applied in this area include game theory, network externalities, the property rights perspective, and industrial organization. Third, research on organizational consequences is based on a number of theories. The most used theories include the resource-based view, organizational information processing, resource dependence, social network theory, population ecology, political economy, organizational learning, relational exchange theory, and stakeholder salience theory.

Research within the governance domain focuses on how IOS can change governance structures. Finally, research within organizational consequences focus on what consequences (i.e. strategic, operational...
