Innovation Alignment and Project Network Dynamics: An Integrative Model for Change

John E. Taylor, Raymond E. Levitt · 2007 · Project Management Journal

Summary. This paper examines how project networks affect innovation adoption using data from 3D CAD technology diffusion across 82 firms in three countries. The authors develop a two-stage model showing that innovation success depends first on alignment with existing work allocation, then on network factors including relational stability, shared interests, boundary permeability, and change agents. The model resolves conflicting theories about whether networks promote or hinder innovation.
