Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book delves into the fascinating realm of technology adoption, specifically within the electric utility industry. It challenges traditional models of technology diffusion, arguing that they often overestimate the influence of firm size on the speed of adopting new technologies. By employing innovative statistical models, the author sheds light on the complex interplay between firm size, ownership structure, and factor costs in shaping technology adoption decisions. The analysis reveals that while larger firms tend to embrace new technologies earlier, this is partly due to their more frequent opportunities to invest in new capacity rather than an inherent propensity for innovation. The book's exploration of the electric utility industry offers valuable insights into the broader landscape of technological advancement. It underscores the importance of considering factors beyond firm size, such as ownership structure and cost considerations, in understanding the dynamics of technology diffusion. Ultimately, this book's findings provide a nuanced perspective on the factors driving technological progress within industries, emphasizing the need to account for both opportunities and propensities in assessing the pace of innovation. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item. N° de réf. du vendeur 9781332258215_0
