Psychometric properties of the Hurt-Joseph-Cook scales for the measurement of innovativeness
Article Abstract:
The innovativeness measure formulated by Hurt, Joseph and Cook in 1977 manifested a high and acceptable degree of reliability and discriminant validity. A random sample of 308 British consumers revealed that in terms of reliability coefficients, however, a shortened version of the inventory formulated by Hurt and colleagues and by the present authors was better compared to Hurt-Joseph-Cook scale. The claim that the scale is homogenous and internally consistent was invalidated as expectation of unidimensionality for the inventory was proven.

Innovation implementations in Malaysian firms: process, problems, critical success factors in working climate
Article Abstract:
A survey of eight Malaysian manufacturing firms was undertaken to find out the degree of innovation being implemented and compared these firms' behavior with those of the West. Results show that factors and process generally conformed to Western models. Nevertheless, local conditions and resultant problems contributed to deviations from those models. In general, the more attuned to innovation a firm was, the more it was expected to succeed.
