It. is well known that t.he introduction of a new technology in one
organization not always produces the intended benefits (Levine,
1994). In many cases, either the receivers do not reach the
intended level of use or simply the technology is rejected because
it does not match with the expectations (true or false) and the
accepted psychological effort to use it. The case of formal methods
is a paradigmatic example of continual failures. The published
cases with problems or failures only constitute the visible part of
a large iceberg of adoption cases. It. is difficult to get
companies to openly express the problems they had; however, from
the experience of the author, failure cases are very common and
they include any type of company. Many reasons to explain the
failures (and in some cases the successes) could be postulated;
however, the experiences are not structured enough and it is
difficult to extract from them useful guidelines for avoiding
future problems. Generally speaking, there is a trend to find the
root of the problems in the technol ogy itself and in its adequacy
with the preexistent technological context. Technocratic technology
transfer models describe the problems in terms of these aspects.
Although it is true that those factors limit the probability of
success, there is another source of explanations linked to the
individuals and working teams and how they perceive the
technology."
