These dimensions are competitiveness, organizational aspects, technological aspects, customer attitudes and financial aspects. Totally 105 employees from three large multinational companies which have a reputation for giving high importance to IT-enabled innovation are respondents of an original questionnaire measuring these dimensions. The strongest driver is competitiveness.
