I am conducting a study on identifying implementation level of advanced technologies in companies. Nowadays companies have started adopting emerging technologies like blockchain, AI or Cloud computing etc. but at different implementation levels or may be in particular business function or areas.
If I want to measure the extent to which particular technology has been adopted or implemented in a company, then, how can I measure this on Likert scale.
I am using a 5 point Likert scale : "No implementation at all” =1; “Low level of implementation” =2; “Medium level of implementation” =3; “High level of implementation” =4; “Advanced level of implementation” =5.
Is this a valid scale to measure level of technology adoption? Kindly suggest any other suitable scale or method to measure technology implementation level.
You could also categorize them based on their complexity, cost structure, sector of implementation (private sector - finance/media, public sector - healthcare etc.).
Hello,
I think it might make things more clear if you start with conceptualizing what 'technology use/implementation' could mean in your context. does it mean the number of users, extent of use, would it have a time dimension (adoption for long vs short time) etc. you can also give your study more depth by analyzing factors that determine to what extent a particular technology is adopted or not. In this regard, you can borrow concepts from technology adoption in the field of agriculture and rural development. I recommended a seminar work from Rogers "diffusion of innovation" which informed many recent similar works in the field in one way or another. cheers!
