Abstract
This qualitative research project explores the experience of managers regarding projects of Diffusion of Software Innovations in a very specific environment of the Information Technology industry: the Solaris Operating System Engineering department of Oracle Corporation. The outcome of this paper is a list of insights and recommendations that can be used by actors involved in similar projects of the Information Technology industry. The investigation is performed through a research process composed of several steps: a process of data collection through individual interviews, a synthesis and analysis of the data using thematic analysis methodology, and finally an analysis of the data through the flagship theory of the Diffusion of Innovation by Roger.
This paper emphasises the core topics and questions that the interviewed managers regard as being critical to the success or failure of Projects of Diffusion of Innovation, it questions the nature of the uncertainty induced by the innovation and the way it appeals to the use of intuition, finally it explores the nature possible causes of failure of these projects, and if they can be avoided.
