References - In Text

• Drucker (1985) identifies innovation as the
  specific function of Entreprenuership.
• Innovation can also be seen as something new to
  our own personal situation, (Spence, 1994).

References - In Text

A positive attitude toward both the new
technology and change process is important to
implementation success. OConnor and Zammuto
(1995) comment that successful AMT-implementing
organisations have more skilled and complex
production jobs, fewer classifications, more
employee discretion, less formalization, more
decentralization, and fewer managers and staff
than less successful organisations.(p125)
