Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book delves into the dynamics of corporate technology transfer, examining how perceptions of operational employees impact the adoption of new technologies from research centers. The author explores the role of perceptions of utility, accessibility, and user-orientation in shaping technology adoption rates. It presents an empirical study of these variables within a large energy resources company, revealing a strong correlation between positive perceptions and increased utilization of new technologies.
