“…Bruque et al (2008) reveal that suitable networking support and information availability influence individual employees’ adaptation of new technology in the financial organization. This argument corroborates with the findings of Sethi, Khamba, and Kiran (2007) that shows the influence of human factors (skill, expertise in the technical area, training, attitude and education) on new technology adaptation in Indian manufacturing organizations. Accordingly, the present study seeks to examine how the employee reacts to IT changes when they are operating in a highly involved work environment.…”

This article investigates the influences of high involvement work practice (HIWP) in terms of five-dimensional human resource management (HRM) practices, namely sharing information, management support, employee participation, reward and recognition, and training on the adaptation of information technology (IT) in the private banking organizations in Bangladesh. Drawing on the social exchange theory (SET), the article proposes that when employees share information, receive management support, reward and recognition, and adequate training, as well as have room to participate in decision-making, it triggers a reciprocal loop in the form of employee acceptance of technology introduced in the organizations. The findings of this cross-sectional study of 365 employees revealed a significant relationship between five-dimensional HIWP and technology adaptation. The article identifies and recommends HIWP as a crucial way of improving technology adaptation among the employees in the organization.

“…Premkumar and Roberts (1999) discussed the role of IT expertise for EDI adoption. In a study for Advanced Manufacturing Technology adoption in India in medium-and small-scale industries (Sethi et al, 2007), technical expertise plays a critical role in successful adoption. Teo et al (2006) saw that lack of IT expertise in an organization as a challenge for information system planning and B2B e-commerce adoption.…”

PurposeThe study examines the key drivers of the adoption of disruptive technologies (DTs) in the digital supply chain (DSC) in developing nations.Design/methodology/approachThe data were collected using well-established measures grounded in the diffusion of innovation (DOI) theory. The hypotheses were tested using the structural equation modeling (SEM) approach using SmartPLS. The authors control for the demographics and apply the required statistical diagnostics for robust findings.FindingsThe compatibility and IT expertise were the two key factors in adopting the DTs in DSC in developing nations. The organizations with higher compatibility and internal IT expertise and competence witness a higher level of adoption of DT. The perceived cost and complexity were not found statistically significant. This may be probably because developing nations such as India do not perceive the technology adoption complex.Research limitations/implicationsThe research enhances DTs adoption, assuming it is organizational innovation. This study makes a theoretical contribution to the DOI literature.Practical implicationsThe practicing managers should pay attention to addressing the existing technology compatibility issues and spend efforts on training employees to increase the IT expertise to improve the adoption of DT.Social implicationsThe greater adoption of the DTs in DSCs can reduce wastages in supply chains by a faster sense and response and greater technological flexibility with transparency and information sharing.Originality/valueThe key antecedent to the acceptance of the DTs in developing nations is compatibility than complexity and IT expertise than the cost. The study's originality lies in the fact that most studies on technology adoption study a single technology, but this study captures a holistic view on a group of technologies under industry 4.0.

“…The intermediary role of TC forms an indirect path from TM to firm performance, and this path is of more significance [15] [16] . The technology and management both have effect on the firm performance, while the coordinated management between TM and TC plays a key role to the firm performance, they have a multiplier effect to the firm performance, and this effect has the effect of "1 + 1 > 2", namely there is a synergistic effect between them.…”

Technology management(TM) and technological capability (TC) are both important to firm performance. Although many firms attach attention to TM and TC, but they cannot get better performance. One of the important reasons is that they do not understand and handle the relationship between TM and TC properly. This paper aims to reveal the synergy mode between TM and TC. Firstly it analyzes the elements of TM and TC, and their relationships. Then it constructs a simulation model based on NKC model. Then a series of simulations are run to identify the fittest synergy mode by exploring the effects of the relationships between TM and TC on firm performance. The results show that in the condition that TM elements and TC elements are weakly linked; the firm should make TM dominate the synergy between TM and TC.
