This book was released on 2016-09-06 with total page 97 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In order for the innovation process to be successful, not only do innovations need to be developed and reached the market, but, once they are available for users, they have to spread on a large scale. In the innovation literature, a complete explanation is lacking of why some innovations reach a phase of large-scale diffusion faster than others, including both actor- and system-level components. For instance, what drives and hinders adopters to decide to adopt the innovation on the actor and system levels, and how adopters who participate in the largescale diffusion handle the adoption process and the implementation of the innovation, are questions still unanswered. As a consequence, it remains unclear how the large-scale diffusion process can be facilitated and speeded up. This thesis addresses these issues by studying the case of renewable electricity (RE) innovations. After decades of technology development and improvements, RE innovations are now mature enough to be bought off-the-shelf by individuals and organizations. Yet, the pace of their large-scale diffusion is still too slow for countries to reach their RE generation targets and to limit global warming. Through qualitative and quantitative methods including 59 semi-structured interviews with adopters, project developers and experts in Sweden, France and Germany as well as a survey sent to the whole population of RE adopters in Sweden, an adopter perspective is taken in order to explore the adoption dynamics shaping large-scale diffusion of innovation. More specifically, the thesis identifies the drivers and challenges of adoption during large-scale diffusion and their impact on adoption decisions and strategies. The outcome of this work is presented in a compiling synthesis and six appended papers. Findings show that adopters are heterogeneous with regard to their characteristics, as well as to the drivers, challenges and strategies that affect their adoption processes. Depending on their perceptions, some adopters are more influenced by drivers and challenges than others and, as a consequence, adopters base their adoption decisions on different motives and follow different strategies to implement the innovation. Moreover, the results suggest that the dynamics that occur during the large-scale diffusion process does not only come from the actor level and the level of the system where the largescale diffusion takes place, but also from parallel systems, which are related to adopters and their contexts, including both the social networks and the industries they primarily belong. This makes adopters the central drivers of the innovation diffusion process and this distinguishes the dynamics of large-scale diffusion from the dynamics of innovation development and early diffusion, in which the innovation is the central component. Based on the findings about the adoption dynamics shaping large-scale diffusion, the thesis raises the need to consider large-scale diffusion as part of a new system, different from the innovation system and that acknowledges the specificities of this process. A tentative model accounting for the central role of adopters and for the interactions between adopters, the diffusion system and parallel systems is introduced. Finally, the implications of these findings for policy makers and managers are put forward. In particular, there is a need for policies acknowledging adopters’ heterogeneity as well as the new challenges of large-scale diffusion. Strategies developed by adopters can be a source of inspiration for policy-makers, who can for instance promote the use of intermediaries, of adopters’ task environment and networks, as well as the formation of coalitions among adopters.

Book excerpt: The new edition makes use of the important ideas of uncertainty and information. The author presents an important discussion of how new innovations generate uncertainty for individuals and organizations, how this uncertainty holds the promise of alternatives superior to practice, and how it thereby provides the motivation to seek infor- mation. Thus the diffusion of innovations is essentially presented as a social process in which subjectively perceived information about a new phenomenon is communicated.

Book excerpt: "The rapid rise of unmanned aircraft over the last decade gives the misleading impression that the weapon suddenly blossomed out of nowhere. In reality, the technology dates back to the infancy of aviation itself. Indeed, unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) foundered as mere footnotes in aviation history for nearly a century before abruptly experiencing exponential growth, with no end in sight. That raises two questions: why now, and what can we anticipate for the future? This dissertation explores answers, investigating factors that underlie and influence weapon system innovation. The investigation begins by surveying literature on military innovation. It discovers much of the literature addresses doctrinal innovation, a related but different line of research than the focus of this investigation. Nevertheless, the dissertation argues insights from doctrinal innovation are relevant and insightful, albeit insufficient. To improve explanatory power, the dissertation proposes cross-disciplinary framework that merges insights from doctrinal innovation theory with ideas from diffusion of innovations (DOI) and business innovation research, adapted to fit a military context. The framework acknowledges that interservice competition and changes in a state's security situation, two factors identified in doctrinal innovation literature, can influence weapon system innovation. However, it maintains, per a central finding of diffusion of innovations (DOI) research, that the perceived attributes of innovations also weigh heavily in their adoption. Specifically, the study hypothesizes that four perceived attributes-- relative advantage, compatibility, trialability, and observability-- of which relative advantage is the most important, account for the majority of the variance in whether and how quickly new weapons are adopted. ... the dissertation investigates three cases-- the adoption of the Intercontinental Ballistic Missile (ICBM), the helicopter, and the UAV. It uses the results to speculate about the future of airpower, specifically the mix of manned and unmanned aircraft in the U.S. Air Force and U.S. Army inventories. While unmanned aircraft appear poised to become more numerous and play a prominent role in virtually every mission area, the study predicts stiffening resistance from the fighter-pilot-dominated Air Force leadership as unmanned aircraft become more competitive with manned aircraft."--Abstract.

This book was released on 2006 with total page 101 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The motivation for using Flight Training Synthetic Environment Technology (FTSET) in military aviation is to create a cost-efficient and a risk-managed training environment. However, deciding on the appropriate mix of synthetic versus actual flight training remains a great unresolved issue. Further, FTSET usage and its adoption level may vary across the aviation community and flight training curricula. Turkish Army Aviation (TUAA) has employed FTSET in helicopter flight training since 1990. Since then, it has exhibited three different FTSET support usage patterns, which include an initial phase of lower support rates until 1997, a substantial increase phase from 1997-2001, and a leveling-off phase, where growth stagnated, from 2001-2006. The author hypothesized that this sequential phasing can be explained in terms of the organizational culture in which the FTSET is employed, organizational changes that favor FTSET usage and increasing FTSET expertise in the usage, and the current FTSET's limited technical capability and sole support for one type of helicopter. To test this hypothesis, the author developed a systems dynamics model of the FTSET adoption process that has three interrelated sectors: Technology Improvement and Acquisition, Technology Adoption, and Technology Discarding. The Diffusion Model also is used as a framework to help explain the TUAA's FTSET adoption process from 1990 to 2006. The purpose is to understand this adoption process and to generate a policy for the current and future FTSET adoption process.
