Abstract

An empirical study using mixed-methods is reported into the barriers and facilitating factors for the diffusion of Digital Inkjet Printing (DIP) as a full-scale production method within the supply network of the textile manufacturing industry. Data are obtained from interviews with a convenience sample of 27 organisations representing the main stakeholder groups in the network. To guide the analysis, a conceptual framework is applied that focuses on four key aspects: knowledge of the technology, perceived characteristics of the technology, network relationships and absorptive capacities associated with three areas of innovation: product, process and administrative. Earlier industry use of DIP to produce samples is shown to play a part in promoting the technology as a full-scale production method. The supply network is not dominated by any particular stakeholder group and anticipated production costs are an important influence on adoption activity.
