Secondly, how compatible the change is with the present practices and staff attitudes. Thirdly, the complexity of the innovation, the feasibility for easily understanding and implementing it and finally, the possibility that the innovation can be realistically tried out. Rogers (1983) observed that the factors influencing change largely revolved around the perceptions of those who were involved in introducing the innovation. Therefore innovations that demonstrate high relative advantage and compatibility, and those that lack complexity and can be tried out, are more likely to be adopted than changes that do not demonstrate these
