Tiivistelmä
Technological progress and the trends fueling globalization have paved the way for incredible economic growth, creating opportunities and changes we’ve never seen before. Organizations are increasingly adopting digitalization to tackle new challenges across all areas of operation. In project management, tools like big data, artificial intelligence, and cloud computing have become more prevalent, especially considering the growing complexity of modern project work.
This thesis examines how digital transformation affects the energy industry, focusing on the challenges it presents, potential solutions, and new opportunities. It also evaluates employees’ perceptions of adopting digital technologies within project management. The empirical research includes a survey of 80 participants, out of 120, making 66.67% of respondents, who are working in the energy sector of Finland. In the study, structured, closed, and open-ended questionnaires were asked of the respondents. The study shows a positive correlation between the technology acceptance model (TAM), Resource View, and Digital Transformation Framework.
The findings indicate that widespread digitalization will lead to significant shifts in how both employees and managers perform their jobs. Furthermore, digitalization has enhanced the efficiency and effectiveness of project management, which has a strong positive impact on both the intention to use these tools and their actual adoption, making them more readily accepted. Overall, the thesis aims to offer a thorough insight into the various implications of digital transformation within the energy sector.
