Understanding Producers’ Motives for Adopting Sustainable Practices: The Role of Expected Rewards, Risk Perception, and Risk Tolerance (2016, unknown): “Extensive research based on Rogers’ (1995) model of diffusion of innovations has shown that the relative advantage of innovation (from an economic point of view) is a strong contributor to the adoption of innovations (Greve, 2009).”
Occupational, industry, and geographic exposure to artificial intelligence: A novel dataset and its potential uses (2021, background): “Strategy and management scholars have often sought to identify the different firm characteristics that predict novel technology adoption or diffusion (e.g., Brynjolfsson & McElheran, 2016; Greve, 2009; Majumdar & Venkataraman, 1998; Souder, Zaheer, Sapienza, & Ranucci, 2017).”

Social Contagion and Information Technology Diffusion: The Adoption of Electronic Medical Records in U.S. Hospitals (2010, background): “…over three decades, studies show that its adoption rates are consistently below 30%, with some estimates as low as 7.6% for a basic electronic health record (EHR)2 system (Jha et al. 2009),3 underscoring the uncertainty hospitals confront in their decision to acquire the innovation (Greve 2009).”
Back to basics: Behavioral theory and internationalization (2020, background): “For instance, research on the diffusion of new technologies and strategic actions among firms routinely controls for such repetition in firm strategies (Compagni, Mele, & Ravasi, 2015; Greve, 2009; Miller & Chen, 1994).”
Friends and Foes: The dynamics of dual social structures (2014, methodology): “This paper also contributes to studies of the connection between the social structure of markets and firm-level outcomes (Beckman & Haunschild, 2002; Lavie, 2007), and to studies of collective dynamics in organizational fields (Davis, 1991; Greve, 2009).”
Microfoundations of Management: Behavioral Strategies and Levels of Rationality in Organizational Action (2013, background): “Much research has examined mimetic behaviors, and has documented that it is found in actions that matter for organizational goal achievement, such as organizational structure (Burns & Wholey, 1993; Lee & Pennings, 2002), market entry and exit (Greve, 1995; Haveman, 1993), plant localization (Henisz ”
