Abstract :
Examines the association of various technology transfer mechanisms and technology advocates with the adoption of Ada. Preliminary analysis of data from structured interviews with 48 software developers in the defense sector supports the notion that organizations and change agents may wish to tailor transition mechanisms and choice of primary advocate to the specific stage of the adoption process, rather than adopt a single strategy for the entire process
