Abstract: New technologies can provide substantial business opportunities, and many firms are currently working on adopting them in their organizations. Prior literature provides insight and guidance to help firms navigate the technology adoption process, but there is limited information about companies that supply or produce newer technologies in the US market. Therefore, this study analyzed the extent to which US firms produce or use emergent technologies, the motivating factors to do so, and the reasons that impede their progression. Findings reveal that the share of technology producers is proportional to the share of users based on each technology group. Additionally, a majority of US companies that produce technologies report upgrading of goods and services, expanding the range of goods and services, and increasing or maintaining market share as the top motivating factors for producing emergent technology or products/services that include such technology. Furthermore, the producers reported high costs as the top adverse reason for generating emergent technology. These findings provide new insight into firms that produce technologies and have direct implications for business strategists, as well as policymakers.
