Diffusing the Lightning Integrated Technician Innovation

Abstract

The purpose of this research was to explore the diffusion process for the Lightning Integrated Technician (LIT) innovation that was employed by the 62d Aircraft Maintenance Unit (AMU). Specifically, this research utilized existing theories of innovation diffusion to capture and understand the stages of the LIT diffusion process as implemented by the 62 AMU. This research also analyzed the extent to which members of the 62 AMU accepted or rejected the LIT innovation because of the diffusion process. The case study also investigated the specific elements that both helped and hindered the overall acceptance of the LIT innovation and analyzed these elements across multiple rank tiers.
