About
Amelia Compagni is a leading scholar in the sociology of innovation and organization studies, with a particular focus on the diffusion and governance of complex technologies in healthcare. Her research masterfully bridges micro-level organizational behavior with macro-level institutional dynamics. In her highly cited work (148 citations) on the diffusion of robotic surgery in Italy, Compagni reveals how early adopters shape later adoption patterns through social positioning and skill reproduction, offering a novel multilevel framework that combines qualitative and quantitative methods. She further explores how the evidence-based paradigm governs technological innovation, examining how institutional arrangements can either enable or hinder effective evidence use in healthcare policy and management. Compagni’s contributions are notable for their theoretical depth and practical relevance, providing critical insights for policymakers, hospital administrators, and innovation scholars. Her work stands as a key reference for understanding the complex social processes that drive—or stall—the adoption of transformative medical technologies.
