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.

Understanding the determinants of RFID adoption in the manufacturing industry
TL;DR: Based on the technology-organization-environment (TOE) framework of Tornatzky and Fleischer as mentioned in this paper, nine variables (relative advantage, compatibility, complexity, top management support, firm size, technology competence, information intensity, competitive pressure, and trading partner pressure) are proposed to help predict RFID adoption.

Innovation diffusion in global contexts: determinants of post-adoption digital transformation of European companies
TL;DR: An integrative model to study the determinants of post-adoption stages of innovation diffusion using enterprise digital transformation as an example of technology-enabled innovations indicates that innovation diffusion can be better understood by including both innovation characteristics and contextual factors, whereas earlier literature has traditionally treated the two separately.

Cloud computing adoption by SMEs in the north east of England: A multi‐perspective framework
TL;DR: An SME cloud computing adoption model that was theoretically grounded in the TOE framework was developed, and it was shown that the three contexts of this framework (technological, organisational, and environmental) are connected to each other.

An exploratory study to understand the critical factors affecting the decision to adopt cloud computing in Taiwan hospital
TL;DR: The obtained results indicate that the 5 most critical factors are data security, perceived technical competence, cost, top manager support, and complexity, and among the proposed four dimensions the most important one is technology followed by human, organizational, and environmental factors.
