This paper delivers some initial insights into the range of theories that need to be integrated to provide a holistic explanation of Cloud Computing (CC) adoption by Small and Medium-Sized Enterprises (SMEs). To achieve this outcome, this paper firstly critiques the two commonly used Information Systems (IS) adoption/diffusion theories: the Technology Acceptance Model and Diffusion of Innovation Theory. It then evaluates the suitability of the Technology-Organization-Environment framework as an IS adoption theory and Actor-network Theory as an innovation translation approach for future research on developing an integrated theoretical framework for CC adoption by SMEs.

Acceptance Model

The aim of this study is to investigate the factors affecting cloud computing technology application by using technology acceptance model 3 (TAM3). The conceptual model was empirically analysed. While the experience of employees has no moderating effect on the relationship between subjective norm and perceived usefulness, the effect of perceived ease of use on perceived usefulness is moderated by experience. In other words, the higher the experience, the higher the effect of perceived ease of use on perceived usefulness. In addition, perceived ease of use, in terms of the perceived enjoyment and playfulness variables, has a mediating effect. Perceived usefulness and perceived ease of use in cloud computing have positive effect on behavioral intention. Research on cloud computing and technology acceptance model has overlooked the mediating and moderating effect of variables in TAM3, on which very little work has been done.

Abstract: The COVID-19 pandemic has altered nearly every aspect of life, including education. Technology has replaced face-to-face teaching and learning nearly totally. This health disaster has accelerated digitization in the world of education, which was previously only available without a repulsive factor. Cloud computing technology has been widely used in education, including higher education, enabling teaching resources, educational information, notes, lectures, and academic assessments to be accessed and shared online. Yet, in celebrating the greatness of technology, are users ready to accept an explosion of information resources and access openly online through cloud-based services? Thus, this research will investigate the Higher Education Institution (HEI) users' readiness and acceptance of cloud computing. The research employs the Technology Acceptance Model (TAM) and Technology Readiness Index (TRI) model together with Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) to investigate 470 individuals from HEIs in Malaysia. Perceived Ease of Use and Perceived Usefulness are found to be positively significant in explaining why a user decides to use cloud computing. Optimism and innovativeness have found to affect the factors of technology acceptance significantly. In contrast, discomfort and insecurity do not affect technology acceptance factors, except for insecurity that negatively impacts Perceived Usefulness. This study contributes to another finding to studying technology readiness and acceptance, especially in higher education.   Keywords: Cloud Computing, Technology Readiness, Technology Acceptance, HEI, SEM

Cloud computing technology is garnering success with marketing-based wisdom-like stories of savings, ease of use, and increased flexibility in controlling how resources are acquired at any given time to deliver computing capability. This chapter develops a preliminary decision framework to assist managers who are determining which cloud solution matches their specific requirements and evaluating the numerous commercial claims (in many cases unsubstantiated) of a cloud’s value. This decision framework is the result of the authors’ research program in understanding how small to medium-sized businesses can assess the potential benefit from cloud computing helps managers allocate investments and assess cloud alternatives that now compete with in-house data centers that previously stored, accessed, and processed data or with another company’s (outsourced) datacenter resources.

This chapter argues that diffusion theory models like the technology acceptance model (TAM) need to be rethought of in light of contextual factors that are becoming increasingly important in modern inter-organisational settings. This is due to the growing complexity of organizations with respect to different organisational types, contexts, and political structures that have been shown in research literature to hinder information systems acceptance. The chapter looks at possible contextual factors that are ignored by TAM by critiquing its parent diffusion theory (diffusion of innovations). This approach was considered best as there are many variations of TAM, but the diffusion of innovations (DOI) theory underlies all these variations. The chapter also recommends a way forward for research into inter-organisational information systems by examining an example situation of Feral Information Systems (FIS) to illustrate the problem. The chapter concludes with a discussion about future research directions.

using cloud computing develops, one of the problems that managers face at the organization level is that the personnel cannot work with these systems, users do not accept these new systems and the problem of accepting these technologies, effective factors in accepting them and the existing barriers in accepting them by users are very important. In many organizations wherein cloud computing has been launched, a time period is required to accept this new system by their personnel. If this time period is less and the personnel can work with these systems earlier, the productivity increases in the organization. The present paper aims the analysis of effective factors on acceptance of cloud computing by personnel working in Birjand International Airport in South Khorasan County (Iran) based on Roger?s diffusion of innovation theory. Examination of effective factors on acceptance of cloud computing in an organization can pave the way for improving its implementation and performance. This research has been done by descriptive survey method and its community includes personnel working in different official and informatics departments of Birjand International Airport. The data gathering instrument was questionnaire and for determining questionnaire validity opinions of masters and for determining consistency Cronbach's alpha has been used. For data analysis descriptive and inferential statistics have been used. The results of present paper indicated that there is meaningful and positive relationship between acceptance features of cloud computing and perception elements of testability, comparative advantage, visibility, complexity, and compatibility of cloud computing with its acceptance rate and there is meaningful and negative relationship between features of perception of not needing cloud computing and its acceptance rate. But there was no meaningful relationship between perception of cloud computing test opportunity and its acceptance rate. As one of the modern ways of providing electronic service has been cloud computing in recent years and it has many benefits for air transportation systems, this paper presents a model for analysis of effective factors in acceptance of cloud computing among personnel of an airline company (airport) and it can be used for examining cloud acceptance in other air companies.
