Critical Success Factors of Technological Innovation
- Higher-education institutions are under increasing pressure to innovate with technology and disseminate the results, but it can prove challenging to please diverse stakeholders in the process.
- This study surveyed faculty members and IT leaders within the University System of Georgia to examine their perceptions of and priorities for technological innovation.
- Survey responses were categorized into 17 critical success factors (CSFs) that respondents identified in relation to technology innovation, adoption, and diffusion.
- Institutions can use these CSFs to focus their own efforts and address issues that are most critical to faculty and IT, as well as to generate understanding of diverse priorities between the groups, and thus increase the odds of successful innovation efforts.
