FRAME WORK ANALYSIS (STAGE 4): PROPOSING A VALIDATED FRAME WORK TO ENHANCE THE ADOPTION OF INNOVATIVE DRILLING TECHNOLOGIES IN UPSTREAM UAE OIL AND GAS

The findings/frame work from the third stage of frame work analysis gets further validated / tested by the Grounded theory for one final time in the fourth stage of frame work analysis. The researcher used NVIVO 12 for data analysis due to the “Time and Efforts factor” involved. The Frame Work proposed by the Researcher in the Third Stage of Frame Work Analysis gets validated in the Fourth and Final stage – No New Variables/Relationships emerged or got eliminated. Very few studies have dealt with Pre-Adoption Variables in the past. Unraveling the Pre-Adoption Variables and its influences on the process of adoption are the Theoretical Contributions of the researcher to the Innovation Adoption Literature.
