Innovation diffusion in global contexts: determinants of post-adoption digital transformation of European companies

Kevin Zhu, Shutao Dong, Sean Xin Xu, Kenneth L. Kraemer · 2006 · European Journal of Information Systems

Summary. This study examines why European companies adopt and use digital transformation technologies at different rates. The researchers found that compatibility with existing systems drives adoption most strongly, while security concerns matter more than cost. Technology competence, partner readiness, and competitive pressure accelerate usage. Large firms move slower due to structural inertia. Economic and regulatory differences across European countries create uneven adoption patterns even among developed nations.
