Abstract

This study used the results from a survey of 73 senior executives, representing their Fortune 1000 or INC 500 firm, to better understand the relationship between an organization's size and its technological-sensing and response capability on the early adoption of disruptive technology. Results indicated that an organization's size, measured by number of employees and annual sales, was shown to be an impediment to an organization's response capability despite its increased capability to sense the technology earlier than smaller firms.
