Norval Morris Project Literature Analyses
:: HOME > Norval Morris Project > Norval Morris Project ... > One way of consolidating top thinking from a variety of disciplines is to analyze its literatures. Literature analyses were conducted for the topics of Organizational Culture and the Transfer of Innovation to provide a research foundation for the Norval Morris Project. Over 1200 articles were reviewed through search engines, databases, and communication with field experts. Of these articles, 350 were reviewed more closely, with more than 100 receiving a thorough review.

Literature analyses will be on-going to ensure that they stay current, comprehensive, and sufficiently detailed to provide a meaningful framework for collaboration. Summaries of the most seminal and best researched articles from these ongoing analyses are posted in a searchable online database.

The following categories of literature and research were meticulously culled to provide sufficient background information for the work of the topic teams:

Organizational Culture
  • Organizational Behavior
  • Performance
  • Change
  • Assessment
  • Leadership
  • Evolution/History

Transfer of Innovation
  • Time Elements and Methods of Evaluation and Research
  • Communication Channels
  • Innovation Technologies
  • Strategies
  • Social Systems

Literature Analyses Topic Matrices

For each topic area, a matrix was created to list resources that have proven highly informative, well written, and well researched, or that present concepts with the potential to move the field in a new direction. Matrices include identifying information and ratings for each document. Current matrices address the topics of Organizational Culture and the Transfer of Innovation.
