Firms report that competition remains the most relevant driver of technology adoption, and lack of demand, lack of capabilities, and lack of finance prove the greatest obstacles to technology adoption. Factual data from the FAT survey shows the association between these variables and technology sophistication, with context and technology type proving important issues in understanding adoption.
