Abstract

This research examines the effect of external, organizational and individual variables on the rate of adoption of new technologies in the financial sector in Ecuador. Results suggest that size, functional differentiation, and formalization are the best predictors of adoption of innovations. Additionally, competition is significantly related to adoption.
