Abstract
The capacity of a decision unit to induce innovation implementation within an adoption unit is crucial to organizational success.Risk and complexity are characteristics of innovations that can lead to resistance within organizational adoption units.Communication costs, types of power, and communication channels are structural characteristics that can be used by a decision unit to overcome this resistance.The interaction of these factors can determine the degree of successful innovation implementation within organizations.
