Abstract

Technology readiness has become a critical factor influencing the success of digital business transformation initiatives in modern organizations. The rapid development of artificial intelligence, cloud computing, big data analytics, and digital platforms has created new opportunities for organizations to redesign their business models and improve operational capabilities. However, successful transformation depends not only on technological investment but also on organizational preparedness, employee adaptability, digital skills, and strategic alignment. This study explores the relationship between technology readiness and digital business transformation by examining how technological capabilities, organizational culture, leadership support, and human competencies contribute to successful digital adoption. The article highlights that organizations with higher levels of technology readiness are better positioned to achieve innovation, operational efficiency, customer value creation, and sustainable competitive advantage. The findings emphasize the importance of developing integrated readiness strategies that combine technological infrastructure with human and managerial capabilities for effective digital transformation. Recent studies also identify technological resources, business processes, management capability, human capability, and organizational culture as major dimensions supporting digital transformation readiness.
