Abstract
The research on information technology (IT) innovation at organizational level has gained plentiful and substantial achievements; existing research in this field presents the pattern of perspective diversification. This paper first introduces the concept of IT innovation and innovation diffusion, and then reviews five dynamic perspectives on the study of the influence factors of IT innovation diffusion, which are organizational learning, social contagion, management fashion, organizing vision and computerization movement. Suggestions and expectations are presented at the end of this paper.
Highlights
information technology (IT) innovation diffusion at organizational level is an important genre in the research of IT innovation, and the research in this field has achieved fruitful results
Under the dominant research paradigm, scholars commonly apply economic-rationalistic logic to explain the behavior of IT innovation, assume that the organization will rational think about the fact that if it possesses the technical factors, organizational factors and environmental factors which are called “the right stuff” when make IT innovation adoption decision
The empirical results show that the coercive force, normative force and mimetic force which exist in external institutional environment positively impact the adoption of the financial electronic data interchange (FEDI) system within organization
Summary
IT innovation diffusion at organizational level is an important genre in the research of IT innovation, and the research in this field has achieved fruitful results.

Existing research in this field presents the pattern of perspective diversification. Under the dominant research paradigm, scholars commonly apply economic-rationalistic logic to explain the behavior of IT innovation, assume that the organization will rational think about the fact that if it possesses the technical factors, organizational factors and environmental factors which are called “the right stuff” when make IT innovation adoption decision. Lei well-known and widely used model in the field of organizational IT innovation diffusion research. This paper first introduces the concept of IT innovation and innovation diffusion, summarizes the dynamic research perspectives of IT innovation diffusion, puts forward some suggestions for future research in IT innovation field
