Abstract
Each year, environmental technology implementation involves many millions of dollars in the United States alone. The economics of making decisions to continue research, to make changes to processes, or to introduce new products is a critical element in the success of organizations. In previous work by Paladino and Longsworth (1996), the importance of economic factors has been postulated to increase according to a set pattern throughout the implementation process. The authors seek to validate this theory and develop a better understanding of decision patterns related to technology implementations in the environmental remediation business area.
