Assessment of Success Factors for Cloud adoption in Semiconductor Industry using Hybrid DEMATEL-ANP

Abstract

In the competitive world, many semiconductor organizations are facing difficulties due to the scarcity of resources, and this creates a challenge for organizations to sustain in the market. Cloud technology is boon for these organizations, as cloud technology facilitates the pay per use model. Even after the acquaintance of the benefits of the cloud, the organization faces difficulties while adopting this technology in the semiconductor domain. The objective of our research is to understand the factors which impact the adoption of cloud technology in the semiconductor industry and how these factors are inter-related. We adopted the TOE (technical, organizational, and environmental) framework to determine the success factors. In this research, we used multiple criteria decision-making methods to assess the causal relationship among the dimensions and their corresponding factors, which further helps to calculate the overall priority of factors. We found that factors under technological and organizational dimensions are the causal factors that are affecting the adoption of cloud technology in the semiconductor industry.
