Abstract—
This study examined the influence that ‘dark side’
or negative and ‘light side’ or positive factors have towards an
organizational innovation. A large-scale survey was conducted
soliciting participants from a variety of industries representing
organizations that had recently made the decision to implement
a specific innovative technology. The results indicate that
coercion has a negative influence on the decision to implement
an organizational innovation while culture and climate as well
as management support have a positive influence.
Index Terms—
Technological innovation, negative
perceptions, coercion, innovation management.
