In this paper we explore different ways to describe and understand the adoption and diffusion of information technology in general, and object oriented (OO) information technology in particular. The rate of adoption of the technology in a user community, according to economy of standards theory (Fichman and Kemerer, 1993), comprises one of the critical factors in adoption of new technology. In accordance with this we describe a survey study designed to asses the current situation in relation to OO in the system development community in Norway, and report the results from this study and the conclusions that can be drawn from it. |
