“…Not surprisingly, recent studies, such as Lagorio et al . (2022), Leonardi and Barley (2010) and Salazar et al . (2021) have urged the need for further studies to validate past theories and develop new ones in the case of emergent technologies.…”

“…According to Salazar et al (2021) and others (for example, Cohen and Levinthal, 1990;etc. ), prior knowledge and experience fortify the absorption of a new knowledge base and the new technology.…”

“…According to Salazar et al (2021), investments in the acquisition and adoption of new technologies in O&G sectors remain a priority regardless of economic cycles. According to their study, the O&G industry, although considered a critical industry in the US and global economy, remains largely ignored in business research, especially in the areas of strategy and management.…”

“…First, Leonardi and Barley (2010) pointed out that most adoption and technology usage studies tend to focus on individual-level analysis. Their sentiment was also echoed by Salazar et al (2021). These authors call for more studies on technology adoption or implementation at the organizational level.…”

PurposeDrawing upon a systematic literature review in new technology, innovation transfer and diffusion theories, and from interviews with technology leaders in digital transformation programs in the US Oil & Gas (O&G) industry, the authors explore the relationships among O&G industry dynamics, organization's absorptive capacity and resource commitment for new digital technology adoption-implementation process.Design/methodology/approachThe authors employed the empirical survey method to gather the data (a sample size of 172) in the US O&G industry and used structural equation modeling (SEM) to test the measurement model for validity and reliability and the conceptual model for hypothesized structural relationships.FindingsThe results provide support for the study’s causal model of adoption and implementation with positive and direct relationships between the initiation and trial stages, between the trial stages and the evaluation of effective outcomes and between the effective outcomes and the effective implementation stages of digital technologies. The results also reveal partial mediating relationships of industry dynamics, absorptive capacity and resource commitment between respective stages.Practical implicationsBased on the current study's findings, managers are recommended to pay attention to the evolving industry dynamics during the initiation stage of new digital technology adoption, to utilize the organization's knowledge-based absorptive capacity during digital technology trial and selection stages and to support the digital technology implementation project when the adoption decision of a particular digital technology has been made.Originality/valueThe empirical research contributes literature on digital technology adoption and implementation by identifying and demonstrating the importance of industry dynamics, absorptive capacity and resource commitment factors as mediating variables at various stages of the adoption-implementation process and empirically validating a process-based causal model of digital technology adoption and a successful implementation project that has been missing in the current body of literature on digital transformation.
