FRAME WORK ANALYSIS (STAGE 1): CREATING A FRAME WORK TO ENHANCE THE ADOPTION OF INNOVATIVE DRILLING TECHNOLOGIES IN UPSTREAM UAE OIL AND GAS

The Researcher has already proposed a “Frame Work” with relevant upstream variables in the paper titled “Identifying the Relevant Variables Affecting the Adoption of Innovative Drilling Technologies in Upstream UAE Oil and Gas”. This paper serves to Validate/Test the findings/Frame work of the researcher. Content Analysis is performed in the first stage of Frame Work analysis. The Findings/Frame Work of the First stage goes as an input to the second stage of Frame Work Analysis. The researcher used NVIVO 12 for data analysis due to the “Effort and Time factor” involved in the manual Frame work analysis. The points to be noted in the results of data analysis are (1) Two new variables emerged - “Central Innovation Office” and “Age” (2) Some Variables got eliminated – “Efforts” + Associated Variables, “User Satisfaction and Trust” + Associated Variables, “Familiarity”, “Innovator Support”, “Environmental Benefits”, “Environmental Benefits”, “Trade up or Buy” and “Brand Loyalty”.
