Resumo |
Dissertação apresentada como requisito parcial para obtenção do grau de Mestre em Estatística e Gestão de Informação Cloud computing has emerged as one of the most discussed topics among enterprise IT professionals. A multitude of factors influence the adoption of cloud computing in organizations. These decisive factors must be systematically evaluated prior to making the decision to adopt cloud-based solutions. The purpose of this study is to identify these factors and determine the extent to which they influence the adoption of cloud computing. To do so, the paper describes a research model that is based on the diffusion of innovation (DOI) theory and the technology-organization-environment (TOE) framework. Data collected from manufacturing and services sectors are used to test the suggested hypotheses. By analyzing the adoption of cloud computing in two distinct sectors, the study provides meaningful insights onto the determinants of cloud computing adoption. |
