Abstract

The desire to increase reliability and productivity in petrochemical industries has driven these organisations to adopt newer technologies that promise predictable operations. Information technology has for years been identified as an enabler of higher competitiveness. The perceived opportunity has driven this rapid technology usage by petrochemical industries, including associated workflows and processes. This paper aims to explore the successful acceptance and adoption of these technologies with the usage of the Technology Adoption Model (TAM). The research method used in this paper to validate the maturity of adoption of these newer technologies is an exploratory literature review. The outcome of this research paper will be utilized to consider an early model that can be utilized to develop a sustainable technology adoption approach that will consider both internal and external aspects affecting technology adoption, especially in petrochemical maintenance management.
