The full realization of the potential of a technology requires good understanding of its implementation. During implementations, lack of compatibility between technology and its adopters require dynamic sequences of alignment. This process is understood to be central to the success in technology assimilation. This paper proposes a configurational model to explain and predict the alignment process during technology implementations, derived from a multiple case research of the implementation of a retinopathy screening program in networks of healthcare providers. It builds on and expands previous research capturing in a holistic way the alignment process and its nature of adaptation over time.

充分发挥一项技术的潜力需要对其实施有充分的了解。在实施过程中，技术及其采用者之间缺乏兼容性，需要动态的对齐顺序。这一过程被认为是技术同化成功的核心。本文提出了一种配置模型来解释和预测技术实施过程中的对齐过程，该模型源自在医疗保健提供者网络中实施视网膜病变筛查计划的多个案例研究。它建立并扩展了先前的研究，以整体方式捕捉对齐过程及其随时间变化的适应本质。
