| Summary: | The process of 'knowledge adoption' is defined as the means through which policy-makers digest, accept then 'take on board' research findings. It is argued in Brown, however, that current models designed to explain knowledge adoption activity fail to fully account for the complexities
that affect its operation. Within this paper, existing frameworks are explored and critiqued, and an alternative approach is presented. It is argued that this alternative conceptualisation provides a more effective explanation of the knowledge adoption process and significantly improves on
extant work in this area. |
