ABSTRACT Guidelines originating from practice suggest the Trust Services Criteria of security, availability, processing integrity, confidentiality, and privacy should be key factors affecting the trust of cloud-based systems. In our study, we test a model of end-user adoption of cloud-based software as a service (SaaS) by integrating the five principles from the Trust Services Criteria with systems risk. Using a survey methodology to collect data and analyzing it with structural equation modeling, we test hypotheses associated with the model. Our results show statistical support for the factors of security, confidentiality, and privacy as influencing consumers' trust in cloud-based services. Additionally, our results demonstrate trust in cloud-based services negatively influences the perceived systems risk, and these two items (trust and systems risk) significantly influence the decision by end-users to adopt a cloud-based system. Overall, our findings support the use of the Trust Services Criteria for assessing consumers' trust in cloud-based services.

The article deals with the problems of assessing the economic efficiency of smart production and ways to resolve them. It has been found that Smart Manufacturing is currently becoming a goal in itself and a guarantor of successful development of industrial business. A comparative analysis of scientific publications to clarify the content of the concept of Smart Manufacturing is carried out, it is revealed that it is necessary to distinguish between intelligent and smart production, which are currently used as synonyms. Analysis of the practice of organizing smart manufacturing has shown that often the process of creating Smart Manufacturing pursues the goal of participating in a popular, useful process with the expectation of future “blurry” positive results; but there are also the actual results in the form of cost savings (better organization of the production process), an increase in production and an increase in labor productivity. All enterprises and organizations quite clearly understand the process of creating a specific smart production with detailing of individual stages, therefore, the specific goals of Smart Manufacturing should be specified taking into account a specific enterprise, but at the same time, standardized for the possibility of a comparative assessment of economic efficiency. It has been proved that traditional economic indicators of efficiency are used to assess the economic efficiency of Smart Manufacturing; but for the organization it is necessary to form a special system of performance indicators based on the theory of management by goals. It is determined that the main factor of Smart Manufacturing is innovative capital, since smart manufacturing is innovative by definition. Possible options for the formation and combination of goals and objectives of Smart Manufacturing and innovation capital are considered. The content and structure of the regulation for assessing the economic efficiency of Smart Manufacturing are proposed

In an era of budget constraints as well as next generation technologies - moving from a consortium based and administrated shared ILS (integrated library system) to one that can be managed in-house allows for substantial cost savings, team oriented opportunities for training and growth, and service improvements for library patrons. This chapter will provide background on one university library's decision to move from a local consortium based catalog with a shared and centrally administered back-end to a global catalog with the ability to personalize administration for a single library. Background on institutional culture, key stakeholders, benefits for library staff and end-user will be discussed.

E-government projects provide many advantages and offer benefits to governments and their citizens. Hence, the big issue and challenge for governments are how they can increase citizen adoption. This has resulted in the development of many e-government initiatives that aim to enhance the provision of public services to citizens and improve associations with industry and world business. It is shown that there are critical success factors and barriers in e-government adoption, and technology adoption more generally, which identifies the fact that current e-government adoption models do not adequately explain the needs of citizens. Based on the diagrammatic of a detailed structure of review methodology, existing studies show that national culture, trust, the information system success model, and knowledge services are very crucial issues for citizens regarding new system application in the successful uptake of e-government services. Therefore, this article presents a review of the generic end-user adoption of e-government services based on a theoretical perspective and the Unified Theory of Acceptance and Use Technology model. Furthermore, this article presents a conceptual model as a better foundation for the development of e-government. The findings of this article will contribute to the limited e-government adoption literature available by providing insights into end users’ perceptions of e-government services.

Facilitating Conditions

Since its introduction in 2008, the value and popularity of Bitcoin have risen exponentially.  Despite being 10 years old, the concept of crypto currency is fairly new in South Africa. The increase in the value of Bitcoin, together with extensive media coverage, has led to the creation of a Bitcoin economic system with many South Africans jumping on the Bitcoin bandwagon. This study aims to identify the determinants affecting end-user adoption of Bitcoin in South Africa and to determine the main use of the crypto currency by South Africans. A research model was developed utilising constructs from the technology acceptance model and theory of planned behaviour. The model was then tested empirically by utilising two survey-based questionnaires, one for current users of Bitcoin and one for non-users. For users, perceived usefulness and access to facilitating conditions were the primary determinants influencing their decision to adopt the crypto currency while lack of trust and social influences were the primary reasons non-users chose not to adopt Bitcoin.
