Agenda (00:36:06)
Embracing new technology: Univac (00:36:24)

Initial Univac use: Two models (00:38:39)
Radical use: Transformative applications (00:46:58)
Clinging to familiar technology: the IBM 650 (00:47:43)

Incremental use of IBM 650 (00:57:05)
Taking a middle path: IBM 702 and 705 (00:59:49)
Incremental migration dominated early insurance adoption & use of computers (01:03:29)
IBM supported customers in continued incremental migration (01:04:22)
Agenda (01:07:25)
Most firms did not see benefit in cost ratios until the late 1970s (01:07:29)
Firms adopting 650s fared slightly better than those starting with Univacs (01:09:01)
Incremental Univac users had higher than average costs (01:09:48)
Transformative Univac users had mixed results (01:10:16)
IBM 700 series users experienced relatively average costs (01:13:16)
Influence on computer industry (01:13:21)

Agenda (01:18:13)
Implications for study of technological innovation (01:18:21)
Implications for the study of organizations (01:19:37)
