Background and Objective: Over the last two decades, substantial researches have focused on the factors influencing the success and failure of technology adoption. However, there is little to no research on the optimal time to adopt technology concerning the lag time between its availability and adoption. This paper explores the optimal timing for technology adoption.
Methods: The study involves a qualitative inquiry based on semi-structured interviews conducted with individuals who have worked with or have served as information technology executives, managers or business users in mid-sized and large healthcare industries in the United States.
Results: From these interview results, a comparison was made between the institutions that have successfully adopted technology and those that have not.
Conclusion: Furthermore, this work seeks to understand the technology assimilation effects of individual motivations, organizational readiness, external environmental factors, and the timing of adoption.
