About

Ghada Elnaggar is a leading researcher at the intersection of technology adoption, organizational behavior, and emerging smart systems. Her work primarily investigates the critical factors that determine how organizations prepare for and integrate disruptive technologies, with a particular focus on unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) and drone technologies. In her highly cited 2021 study, "Determinants of an Organization's Readiness for Drone Technologies Adoption" (55 citations), Elnaggar provides a foundational framework for understanding how firms can successfully transition from traditional operations to incorporating smart flying robots. This research addresses the growing interest in drone applications across diverse industrial sectors, from logistics to agriculture, by identifying the key organizational, technological, and environmental readiness factors. Her contributions are particularly valuable for practitioners and policymakers seeking to navigate the complexities of Industry 4.0 adoption. By bridging the gap between theoretical readiness models and practical implementation challenges, Elnaggar’s work has become essential reading for scholars studying innovation diffusion and for organizations planning strategic technology integration. Her research continues to shape how businesses evaluate and prepare for the transformative potential of autonomous systems.
