J.T. Taylor from UT Austin had an interested presentation at the 2007 CRC Conference. He presented research focused on the adoption (or diffusion) of innovative technologies in different cultures. He specifically compared the US and Finland. The research shows that diffusion of the technology occurred much more rapidly in Finland, and he postulated that this occurred due to the following five factors: Alignment, relational stability, interests, boundary permeability, and agent for network change. Some other interested items where that he related his work to the work of Rogers on different types of adopters and used the constant comparative method within his research methodology.
