TLDR
The findings indicate that relative advantage, security concern, top management support, technology readiness, competitive pressure and trading partners’ pressure were the TOE factors found to be significant in CCA in a developing country context.Abstract:
Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to investigate the determinants of cloud computing adoption (CCA) in a developing country context through the lens of the technology, organisation and environment (TOE) framework. Design/methodology/approach – The study was carried out using the quantitative research methodology based on a survey of 305 organisations from different industries in Ghana. Based on the TOE framework, a conceptual model consisting of ten hypotheses were proposed and tested through a confirmatory factor analysis and logistic regression analysis. Findings – The findings indicate that relative advantage, security concern, top management support, technology readiness, competitive pressure and trading partners’ pressure were the TOE factors found to be significant in CCA in a developing country context. Conversely, firm size, scope, compatibility and regulatory support were found to be insignificant. Originality/value – This study provides insights into CCA across different industries in a dev...read more

Cloud computing adoption and its impact on SMEs’ performance for cloud supported operations: A dual-stage analytical approach
TL;DR: Results of SEM and neural network analysis indicate that the most significant predictor of cloud adoption is server location followed by facilitating conditions, relative advantage, service quality, top management support, computer self-efficacy, perceived risks, cloud provider's influence, and resistance to change.

Innovation characteristics and innovation adoption-implementation: A meta-analysis of findings
L. G. Tornatzky,K. J. Klein +1 more
TL;DR: A review and meta-analysis of seventy-five articles concerned with innovation characteristics and their relationship to innovation adoption and implementation was performed in this article, where three innovation characteristics (compatibility, relative advantage, and complexity) had the most consistent significant relationship with innovation adoption.

Validating instruments in MIS research
TL;DR: An operating paradigm for renewal along dimensions previously unstressed is offered and it is argued that confirmatory empirical findings will be strengthened when instrument validation precedes both internal and statistical conclusion validity and that, in many situations, MIS researchers need to validate their research instruments.

A review of goodness of fit statistics for use in the development of logistic regression models
Stanley Lemeshow,David W. Hosmer +1 more
TL;DR: Several statistics have recently been proposed for the purpose of assessing the goodness of fit of an estimated logistic regression model and one statistic is recommended for use and its computation is illustrated using data from a recent study of mortality of intensive care unit patients.
