Let   $\mathcal{A}$  be a
 $\mathcal{A}$  be a   ${{C}^{*}}$ -algebra and
 ${{C}^{*}}$ -algebra and   $E$  be a Banach space with the Radon-Nikodym property. We prove that if
 $E$  be a Banach space with the Radon-Nikodym property. We prove that if   $j$  is an embedding of
 $j$  is an embedding of   $E$  into an injective Banach space then for every absolutely summing operator
 $E$  into an injective Banach space then for every absolutely summing operator   $T:\,\mathcal{A}\,\to \,E$ , the composition
 $T:\,\mathcal{A}\,\to \,E$ , the composition   $j\,\circ \,T$  factors through a diagonal operator from
 $j\,\circ \,T$  factors through a diagonal operator from   ${{l}^{2}}$  into
 ${{l}^{2}}$  into   ${{l}^{1}}$ . In particular,
 ${{l}^{1}}$ . In particular,   $T$  factors through a Banach space with the Schur property. Similarly, we prove that for
 $T$  factors through a Banach space with the Schur property. Similarly, we prove that for   $2\,<\,p\,<\,\infty $ , any absolutely summing operator from
 $2\,<\,p\,<\,\infty $ , any absolutely summing operator from   $\mathcal{A}$  into
 $\mathcal{A}$  into   $E$  factors through a diagonal operator from
