Abstract

Digital transformation is the change associated with applying digital technologies in all aspects of human society. This need for digital transformation is beginning to be transversal for all industries, but especially in those small and medium-sized. Some initiatives seek to promote these transformation processes through technology adoption models. However, on a few occasions, it has been studied under a particular socio-cultural context. In this document, we begin our research by analyzing Tornatzky’s proposal for technology adoption, but under a socio-cultural vision specific to the Chilean market.
