Abstract
This bachelor’s thesis explores assimilation of low-code technologies post-adoption within organisations. Through a qualitative approach involving nine semi-structured interviews, which were analysed thematically and discussed with resource-based theory, two distinct uses of low-code technologies are identified: as a technical facilitator for fast and cost-effective software development, and as a digitalisation and innovation enabler. Factors influencing low-code technology assimilation, such as internal teams, solution catalysts, low-code technology readiness, and value realisation, are identified. The findings highlight the strategic importance of aligning low-code technology use with organisational goals and organising internal... (More)
This bachelor’s thesis explores assimilation of low-code technologies post-adoption within organisations. Through a qualitative approach involving nine semi-structured interviews, which were analysed thematically and discussed with resource-based theory, two distinct uses of low-code technologies are identified: as a technical facilitator for fast and cost-effective software development, and as a digitalisation and innovation enabler. Factors influencing low-code technology assimilation, such as internal teams, solution catalysts, low-code technology readiness, and value realisation, are identified. The findings highlight the strategic importance of aligning low-code technology use with organisational goals and organising internal resources accordingly. Theoretical contributions are made by analysing low-code technology assimilation through the lens of resource-based theory. Practical implications are provided for practitioners to optimise low-code assimilation processes, including alignment of IT strategy based on the organisation’s use of low-code technologies, formation of teams with specific roles and responsibilities, as well as identifying and empowering solution catalysts within the organisation. Future research directions are offered to explore hybrid uses and factors affecting low-code technology assimilation success. (Less)
