“…The research question is concerned with explaining variations among Nordic municipalities as to the features of their respective web pages. Municipality websites and e-Government processes are also well described by Jun and Weare (2008), whose study highlights the organisational factors underlying the rapid adoption of e-Government websites and e-Government services.…”

abstract. Since its origination the Internet has been the basic communication channel through which e-Government processes in our society are carried out. The basic element of such processes is an existing website. This paper is the result of long-term research during which the authors collected information on the presence or absence of websites of self-governments in Slovakia. The output can be divided into two main parts. The first one, on the basis of the acquired data, evaluates the overall trend of self-government websites between 2008-2012. The results were distributed in the form of a website devoted to communes of Slovakia, using technology enabling the graphical and cartographic interpretation of the results. In the second part, on the basis of the gathered data, the authors applied spatial autocorrelation, specifically the 'join count statistics' method with the subsequent application to selected phenomenon in society, in particular the occurrence of websites of a selected region of Stredné Považie in Slovakia at the same time interval. This way the authors wanted to point out the interaction of communes in the development of websites, whether through inspiration or rivalry among neighbouring communes. From this point of view, mainly in the first period under review (2008), positive spatial autocorrelation is apparent in the occurrence of communes with websites.

“…The adoption of new technology is influenced by three key elements: the characteristics of the innovation, the aspects of the organization making the decision to adopt, and the prevailing social system [4] [3]. Slow adoption of technology results from several factors, such as financial costs, resistance to change and slow diffusion of the innovation [5].…”

Robotic process automation (RPA) has by now for years been viewed as a disruptive innovation that will have a significant impact on accounting, HR and payroll services, and yet the rate of adopting the innovation has not reached a level anticipated in past predictions. As several elements have a negative impact on the organization's rate of adopting RPA, passive resistance to change has a significant impact in the form of constant dithering. Resistance to change can emerge at any stage of the Innovation-Decision process and fluctuate throughout the continued adoption, causing wasted investments, capabilities and resources.

Abstract:The concentration of broad-based merit aid adoption in the southeastern United States has been well noted in the literature. However, there are states that have adopted broad-based merit aid programs outside of the Southeast. Guided by multiple theoretical frameworks, including innovation diffusion theory (e.g., Gray, 1973Gray, , 1994Rogers, 2003), Roberts and King's (1991) typology of public entrepreneurs, and Anderson's (2003) stages of the policymaking process, this qualitative study sought to answer the following questions. First, in the absence of regional diffusion pressures, what internal determinants are reported as accounting for the diffusion of broad-based merit aid programs outside of the Southeastern US? What types of public entrepreneurs were identified as playing key roles in establishing merit aid in states outside the southeastern US? During which stages of the policymaking process were they active? We found that merit aid was a means of addressing an array of public problems, including low college going rates at in -state public colleges and universities, and weak K-12 accountability. Consistent factors reported as facilitating merit aid creation included a strong, vocal public advocate (governors and a university system president) and a desire to strengthen state economies and diversify Education Policy Analysis Archives Vol. 21 No. 58 2 workforces. A full range of public entrepreneurs played key roles in developing merit aid in the sampled states. Political and executive entrepreneurs were in the forefront of merit aid efforts, but our data suggest that a cast of supporting public entrepreneurs were integral to the eventual adoption of broad-based merit aid in the sampled states. Keywords: political analysis; postsecondary education policy; public entrepreneurs; innovation; diffusion.Emprendedores públicos y la adopción de sistemas de ayuda meritocráticos de base amplia más allá del sureste de Estados Unidos Resumen: La concentración de la adopción de sistemas de ayuda meritocráticos de base amplia en el sureste de Estados Unidos ha sido bien discutida en la literatura. Sin embargo, hay estados que han adoptado programas de ayuda al mérito de base amplia parte más allá del sureste. Guiados por marcos teóricos múltiples, incluyendo la teoría de la innovación de difusión (por ejemplo, Gray, 1973, 1994, Rogers, 2003, Roberts y King (1991) tipología de emprendedores públicos y las etapas del proceso de formulación de políticas de Anderson (2003), este estudio cualitativo buscó responder a las siguientes preguntas. En primer lugar, cuando no existen presiones de difusión regional, cuales son los determinantes internos que explican la difusión de los programas de ayuda al mérito de amplia base más allá del sureste de EE.UU.? ¿Qué tipos de emprendedores públicos fueron identificados como jugando un papel clave en el establecimiento de ayudas mérito en estados más allá del sureste de EE.UU? En qué etapas del proceso de formulación de políticas son activos? Encontramos que la ayuda meritocrát...
