Abstract

The paper aims to identify adoption criteria for “revolutionary” business techniques; based on case material, it invites further research.Design/methodology/approachBuilding on the idea of scientific revolution, three cases from sub-disciplines of business administration are chosen to illicit adoption criteria for business techniques.FindingsThe analysis shows that a logical response to a problem, the availability of a controllable procedure, the software and the means to apply the procedure easily, and the hardware, jointly seem to explain the adoption of “revolutionary” business technologies.Research limitations/implicationsIn case analysis in general, the results do not lead to induction. More research might identify additional success criteria. Furthermore, it might lead to determining adoption probabilities of techniques.Practical implicationsManagers being introduced to new techniques in business administration might use the criteria outlined here for their evaluation.Originality/valueThe author believes that the paper sheds new light on the development of business technologies and that this light might guide developers of technologies to come up with more potentially successful technologies.
