Mandell, Lewis – Aspen Institute, 2009
The near-collapse of the American financial system has led to a search for its causes and ways to prevent it from happening again.

We propose applying diffusion of innovation theory to further our understanding of why this is the case. We pose a practical set of questions that administrators face as they decide about…
