Managing IT innovation: a study of information technology implementations in Malaysian banks

Technology plays an important role in organization's innovation activities and the financial services sector is one of the major adopters of technology innovations. In Malaysia computers began to be introduced in the financial services institutions only in the 1980s. Today, the deployment of co...
