Consumer responses to high-technology products: Product attributes, cognition, and emotions (2011, background): “More recently, Rindova and Petkova (2007) investigate product innovations, and suggest three product attribute dimensions, namely functional (technological novelty and congruity), symbolic (visual similarity to existing products), and esthetic (product appealing).”
Managing Citizens' Uncertainty in E-Government Services: The Mediating and Moderating Roles of Transparency and Trust (2016, background): “Uncertainty arises about what valued functionality a given technology will deliver to users and such uncertainty will form a barrier to users’ recognition of the value of innovations and the adoption of new technologies (Rindova and Petkova 2007).”

Online Communities and Open Innovation (2008, background): “The community may develop a shared and mutual understanding of what it is about, what in the new product design or features is valuable; it may create product/firm loyalty and establish among community participants a sense of belonging and meaning (Rindova and Petkova, 2007 ).”

Thinking About Technology: Applying a Cognitive Lens to Technical Change (2008, methodology): “In their absence, actors draw on their prior frames, categorizing the new technology based on its perceived similarity to existing technologies and applying performance criteria borrowed from the old frame (Rindova & Petkova, 2007).”
