Conceptualizing models using multidimensional constructs: a review and guidelines for their use (2012, background): “At a more basic level, many studies (e.g., Bhattacherjee, 2001; Fichman, 2001; Soh et al, 2006) also appear to misuse the term ‘dimension’ itself, using it to represent facets of a construct that is then operationalized as first-order.”
Absorptive Capacity and Information Systems Research: Review, Synthesis, and Directions for Future Research (2012, background): “…knowledge is defined as the extent of abstract knowledge, know-how, and skills possessed by the organization in areas related to the focal innovation, and knowledge diversity is defined as the range of knowledge possessed by the organization with respect to the focal innovation (Fichman 2001).”
Fueling Innovation through Information Technology in SMEs* (2008, background): “innovation, IT, and performance have not been the subject of extensive investigation (Dewett and Jones 2001; Fichman 2001).”
Shaping UP for E-Commerce: Institutional Enablers of the Organizational Assimliation of Web Technologies (2002, background): “…on Type III IS innovations, with earlier treatments of IT assimilation at the organizational level (Armstrong and Sambamurthy 1999), and reflects our interest in understanding firms as innovation systems for attaining differential levels of technology assimilation success (Fichman 2001).”
Social Movements as Catalysts for Corporate Social Innovation: Environmental Activism and the Adoption of Green Information Systems (2019, unknown): “We also included a measure of firmlevel IT size, which is an indicator of greater professionalism and expertise in the IT field that promotes assimilation of new technologies (Fichman, 2001), which would increase the likelihood of green IS adoption.”
Social Contagion and Information Technology Diffusion: The Adoption of Electronic Medical Records in U.S. Hospitals (2010, background): “…“multiple 8 We note that our study investigates “adoption” rather than “assimilation” or the extent to which an organization has progressed through the assimilation lifecycle for a particular innovation stretching from initial awareness to full institutionalization (Fichman 2001, 2004).”
Going Beyond the Dominant Paradigm for Information Technology Innovation Research: Emerging Concepts and Methods (2004, methodology): “The quantity of innovation has been conceptualized as the extent to which an organization adopts innovations often, adopts them early, and/or adopts them thoroughly (Fichman, 2001).”
Toward a Deeper Understanding of System Usage in Organizations: A Multilevel Perspective (2007, unknown): “To elucidate this point, we have provided guidelines for aggregating system usage; other research has provided guidelines for aggregating the systems in question (Fichman 2001).”
Assimilation of enterprise systems: the effect of institutional pressures and the mediating role of top management (2007, background): “Thus, this variable takes into account the accumulated organizational learning and experience that facilitates assimi lation (Fichman 2001).”
The Impact of ERP Implementation on Business Process Outcomes: A Factor-Based Study (2007, background): “The quantity of IT innovation has been conceptualized as the extent to which an organization adopts innovations often, adopts them early, and/or adopts them thoroughly [ 35 ].”
Determinants of E-Business Use in U.S. Firms (2006, background): “Evaluating the role of aggregation in the mea surement of IT-related organizational innovation, Fichman justifies that ag gregated measures are more robust and can promote stronger predictive validity under some circumstances: (1) when the research objective is to identify deter minants of organizat”
The Needs-Affordances-Features Perspective for the Use of Social Media (2018, unknown): “The two psychological theories are self-determination (Deci and Ryan 1985, 1987, 2000, 2002) and psychological ownership (Pierce et al. 1991, 2001).”
Psychological Ownership Motivation and Use of Social Media (2015, unknown): “aggregation (Fichman, 2001) suggests that aggregate measures are preferred if the set of applications under investigation includes substitutes.”
The Process of Innovation Assimilation by Firms in Different Countries: A Technology Diffusion Perspective on E-Business (2006, methodology): “Other studies used a similar approach to measure the adoption of open systems (Chau and Tam 1997) and software practice technologies (Fichman 2001).”
