The findings in this study suggest that understanding collective learning processes contributes to knowledge about technology adoption and organizational innovation, an area of research that has been conducted almost exclusively using an organization-level lens. Our study suggests an important role for a group-Level lens, with attention to how interdependent team members view a technology and the nature of the challenge it presents. How a technology is framed can make the
