Abstract
Author examines drivers behind technology investment decisions, focusing on the factors that may have a huge impact on these decisions.  Such factors include include investment justification techniques, technology selection, organizational readiness, technology alignment, and benefits realization.  These five elements have not previously been linked in research publications or reports, particularly within the petrochemical industry.
The author’s research attempts to identify the critical factors and difficulties that will support decision makers to achieve successful technology investment in the petrochemical industry. To address the research aims, the issues affecting investment decision-making within a number of the biggest petrochemical companies in Saudi Arabia were investigated.
