Characteristics Influencing Digital Technology Choice in Digitalization Projects of Energy Industry

Digitalization projects are actively underway in the energy industry, such as the power industry and oil and gas industry. However, there has been no in-depth and quantitative analysis of the relationships between the participants, industry, and technology of digital projects. Therefore, this study...
