| Abstract: | This article compares firm performances of technology adoption. Two efficacious and two less efficacious adopters in the oil industry were investigated. It is shown that they differed in the processes of adoption: the efficacious firms developed strong strategic commitment to the technology early, facilitating their more extensive external and internal integration activities. Also their knowledge systems, such as employee skills, technical and managerial systems, and values and norms were different. The firms' integrative capability developed through a dynamic interplay of adoption processes and their knowledge systems, and influenced on efficacy of adoption. |
