Organisational learning, strategic rigidity and technology adoption : Implications for electric utilities and renewable energy firms / Nisar, Arsalan
Journal Article
This paper examines the implications of strategic rigidness for technology adoption behaviours among electric utilities.Such behaviours lead to heterogeneity in firm performance and consequently affect the
electric utility industry. The paper’s central aim is to identify and describe the implications of strategic
rigidness for a utility firm’s decision making in adopting newer renewable energy technologies.The findings indicate that not all utility firms are keen to adopt these new technologies, as these firms have traditionally been operating efficiently with a more conventional and mature technological arrangement that has become embedded in the organisational routine. Case studies of Iberdrola S.A.and Enel S.p.A. as major electric utilities are detailed to document mergers and acquisitions and technology
adoption decisions.There results indicate that technology adoption behaviours vary widely across utility firms with different organisational learning processes and core capabilities.
