Author:Each of the technologies, as we showed in the article [Trajectories of technological development], is at a certain stage of its development. When considering the transfer of a given technology (including IT) to the company, we should take into account its readiness and the company’s ability to absorb it, i.e. implement it.
A company’s ability to absorb technology is its ability to adapt available technologies in order to increase the company’s competitiveness and productivity. In other words, a company’s absorptive capacity is a set of organizational practices and processes through which a company acquires and assimilates (potential ability), and transforms and uses (consumed ability) knowledge to create changes in the company’s production environment in order to gain a competitive advantage.
For the purposes of this article, it can be assumed that the company’s ability to absorb a technology is the opposite of the level of difficulty in implementing a given technology, i.e. the greater the company’s skills and competences in implementing a given technology, the less difficult the implementation may be. In this context, each company planning a technology transfer should consider the extent to which a given implementation may affect its production environment. From the company’s point of view, it may be useful to consider the level of difficulty of implementing a given technology in the company, which is presented in Table 1.
When analysing the relationship between the readiness of a technology and the difficulty of its implementation in a company (the company’s ability to absorb a given technology), one can notice a natural dependence consisting in the fact that the more mature (more popular) technology is, the more capable the company is to absorb it (the more easier to implement) – see Fig. 1.
It is worth noting from INNOKREA’s practice that our implementations are characterized by the use of modern IT technologies and well-established methodologies. We support our clients in the absorption of IT technologies through effective project management practices with the purpose of ensuring such implementations are performed successfully.
AI for a Better Future: Our Highlights from CEATEC Japan
First hours at CEATEC Official. This was my first time beeing in Japan. I expected lots of noise and tech overload. Instead, nothing but calm faces, precise conversations, quiet determination. Here, innovation doesn’t try to impress. It tries to endure. There’s something very Japanese in that: patience before progress. I’m here with INNOKREA, but […]

✨ Still buzzing with positive energy and inspiration after last week’s TechBBQ in Copenhagen!
INNOKREA knows many faces of Grilling😅. The classic one – social, with sausages, a cold drink, and the eternal question: “is it ready yet?”
