However, the research on technological capabilities and BA adoption is scant in the context of emerging countries. There is a need to understand the capabilities needed for managing BA technology in organizations in India. The purpose of this study is to investigate the factors influencing BA adoption in firms in India. The study is based on the TOE (technological, organizational, environmental) framework in combination with perceived benefits of BA adoption. The study uses thematic content analysis of the primary data collected through semi-structured interviews from senior management personnel's in organizations. Some of the major factors validated from this study are perceived benefits, organizational data environment, technology assets, and competitive pressure. The study finds data quality and human resources competency with BA skills as specific challenges for organizations in India. The findings of this study can be useful for the organizations to develop their BA practices to differentiate from the competition. This study contributes to the existing knowledge on BA adoption and would facilitate future researches on higher level BA capabilities on the elements of management of technology (MoT) framework.

The right to development must be fulfilled equitably so that the developmental and environmental needs of present and future generations can be met. Management of environmental issues in different secotrs is shifting focus from mere regulations to adopting different approached of market driven strategies like ISO certification, Eco labeling, Voluntary reporting practices, Total Quality Environmental Management, Life Cycle Assessment etc. This paper takes a closer look at the emerging trends among the market driven strategies. The extent to which these strategies would enlist the participation of the different beneficiaries in the environmental resource group is yet to be fully developed.
