摘要
泰国海运业是支撑泰国经济扩张的关键行业,本探索性研究深入探讨了影响数字技术应用的因素及其制度化的动态。研究采用滚雪球式抽样方法,通过对七家泰国船东的执行领导进行半结构化访谈收集数据。研究结果表明,数字技术的采用受到各种复杂因素的影响,包括可靠的 IT 基础设施、可感知的技术优势、组织文化、高层管理支持、IT 技能和支持、法律、法规和政策要求、社会压力影响以及不同程度的政府支持。此外,此类技术在海事部门的制度化在很大程度上依赖于明确的组织规则和对技术进步的信任。这些发现不仅丰富了有关数字化应用的理论图景,也为行业利益相关者提供了实用的见解,为更细致的干预措施和政策制定铺平了道路,旨在加强这一传统保守行业的数字化整合。
Digital technology adoption and institutionalization in Thai maritime industry: An exploratory study of the Thai shipowners
This exploratory study delves into the factors influencing digital technology adoption and the dynamics of its institutionalization within the Thai maritime industry, a key sector underpinning Thailand's economic expansion. Data was collected through semi-structured interviews with executive leaders from seven Thai shipowners, utilizing a snowball sampling method. The study reveals that digital technology adoption is driven by a complex interplay of factors including reliable IT infrastructure, perceived technological benefits, organizational culture, top management support, IT skills and support, legal, regulatory, and policy requirements, social pressure influence, and varying degrees of government support. Additionally, the institutionalization of such technologies within the maritime sector is heavily reliant on well-defined organizational rules and the establishment of trust in technological advancements. These findings not only enrich the theoretical landscape regarding digital adoption but also offer practical insights for industry stakeholders, paving the way for more nuanced interventions and policy formulations aimed at enhancing digital integration in this traditionally conservative sector.
