| description | This article analyses the reasons for the spatial
variations in the diffusion process of innovations of
the new information technology.<br>
A model of the diffusion process is developped in
which hypotheses from well-known economic and
geographical research have been integrated and
combined with hypotheses which have been derived
from the peculiarities of the examined innovations.
The model is tested with Statistical methods such as
discriminant analysis.<br>
Statistical evaluation of three different innovations
(electronic data processing, data processing by means
of telecommunications and facsimile machines shows
empirical evidence for several hypotheses though the
estimated functions are only moderatly correlated with
the explained variables. The most important variables
of the decision to adopt the new information technology by firms are the size of plants and a high Proportion of routine information activities. Spatial factors
have much less influence but may prove statistically
significant. |
