依據以往企業對於電腦新技術的採用經驗，企業幾乎在沒有進行評估的情況下就追尋著業界龍頭微軟(Microsoft)與英代爾(Intel)的腳步導入新的技術。本研究藉由以EFI/UEFI技術，探討國內外企業採用電腦新技術之影響因素。
BIOS 使用的程式語言為組合語言，而EFI/UEFI則是使用目前較為普遍的C語言作為其開發程式語言。並可以縮短產品開發的時間、降低產品生產的成本。EFI，從英代爾於西元2000年初的規格書0.92版開始，到西元2000年底的正式1.1版；到UEFI Forum的成立，西元2006年初的 UEFI 2.0版、西元2007年初的 UEFI 2.1版，截至目前為止仍未廣泛的被使用在x86架構的電腦上，其中的原因值得深究。
本研究將新技術抵制的關鍵因素分成五個構面：「組織構面」、「外在環境」、「風險障礙」、「新舊技術的差異性」以及「工程師對於新技術的認知」；透過這五個構面找出其抵制因素。研究結果發現高階主管的支持與否、同業已經使用的比例、導入新技術所需要的相關成本而產生的風險以及工程師是否有足夠的時間學習新技術，以上這些抵制的因素使得新技術沒有在短時間內被快速的接受。本研究以不同以往的角度看新技術的導入的議題，對於企業的策略規劃與後續的學術研究並提供參考。

Companies adopt new computer technology without having the evaluation first and they just follow what they heard from Intel and Microsoft. This study uses EFI/UEFI technology as an example to find out the factors that causing companies refuse to adopt it.
The first EFI specification version 0.92 published by Intel in Jan. 2000 and the first UEFI 2.0 specification released by the UEFI forum in the beginning of 2006. Up to date, the latest version of UEFI specification is 2.1 published in Jan. 2007. It is interesting that EFI/UEFI does not be implemented widely and this is something that can be explored.
The study is trying to explore the resist factors from 5 topics : The organization, The external environment to a company, The risk, The differences between new & old technology and The view point from engineers. The finding results are: The supporting from top management, the adopting rate of competitors, the risk and reserving enough time for enginners to study and familiar with new technology. Those factors cause new computer can not be adopted in the short time.
Based on the finding results could help companies to make proper decisions for their strategic plans.
