摘要

目的 本研究旨在调查约旦中小型企业(SMEs)采用云计算(CCA)作为信息技术(IT)灵活性(ITF)和 IT 效能(ITE)替代指标的价值。 设计/方法/途径 在以往研究成果的基础上,制定了一个包含五个假设的研究框架。采用偏最小二乘法-结构方程模型进行数据分析。 研究结果 研究结果表明,IT 技术资源(连通性、模块化和兼容性)和 IT 人力资源(IT 人员技能)这两个领域的 ITF 要素与 ITE 存在显著相关。 研究局限/意义 研究结果具有重要意义:有助于研究界、管理者和云计算提供商(CSP)改进 CCA 的框架程序。建议的模型可以提高服务提供商的认识,让他们了解为什么有些中小企业接受云计算服务,而实际上业务类型相同的中小企业却不接受云计算服务。此外,上述服务提供商应加强与贡献云计算知识的中小企业的互动,为共同国家评估创造良好的组织环境,特别是采用内部私有云架构的中小企业。此外,有必要从 CSP 的角度确定部署解决方案所面临的挑战。样本仅限于约旦受访者。 实际意义 有关云计算使用情况的研究表明,云计算对当今中小企业产生了影响。此外,云计算对其他行业的不同影响也是关注的焦点。从 ITF 和 ITE 的角度仔细考虑和管理 CCA,中小企业可以获得显著优势。 独创性/价值 据笔者所知,这是首次从 ITF 的角度出发,在 IT 技术资源(连接性、模块性和兼容性)和 IT 人力资源(IT 人员技能)及有效性这两个领域建立 CCA 框架的研究。

Examines the value of cloud computing adoption as a proxy for IT flexibility and effectiveness
Purpose The purpose of this study is to investigate the value of cloud computing adoption (CCA) as a proxy for information technology (IT) flexibility (ITF) and IT effectiveness (ITE) among Small- and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) in Jordan. Design/methodology/approach A research framework with five hypotheses has been developed based on the results of previous studies. Partial least squares-structural equation modeling has been used for data analysis. Findings The results revealed that elements of ITF in two domains, IT technical resource (connectivity, modularityand compatibility) and IT human resource (IT personnel skills) specific to CCA, were significantly correlated with ITE. Research limitations/implications The findings have crucial implications: they contribute to the research community, administrators and cloud computing providers (CSPs) concerning the framework-improved procedure for CCA. The proposed model can enhance the awareness of service providers about why some SMEs accept cloud computing services, whereas actually the same ones having the same type of business do not. In addition, the above providers should enhance their interaction with the SMEs that contributed to the cloud computing knowledge to make a well-organized setting for the CCA, specifically, SMEs need that adopt an on-premise private cloud architecture. Moreover, necessary to determine the challenges in deploying solutions from the perspective of CSPs. The sample has been limited to Jordan respondents. Practical implications The research studies about the usage of cloud computing have shown its effects on SMEs today. Also, the different impacts of cloud computing on other sectors are at the center of attention. SMEs could get significant advantages by carefully considering and managing CCA from the ITF and ITE perspective. Originality/value To the best of the author’s knowledge, this is the first study to develop a framework for CCA based on the standpoint of ITF in two domains, IT technical resources (connectivity, modularity and compatibility) and IT human resources (IT personnel skills) and effectiveness.

期刊介绍: Information Discovery and Delivery covers information discovery and access for digital information researchers. This includes educators, knowledge professionals in education and cultural organisations, knowledge managers in media, health care and government, as well as librarians. The journal publishes research and practice which explores the digital information supply chain ie transport, flows, tracking, exchange and sharing, including within and between libraries. It is also interested in digital information capture, packaging and storage by ‘collectors’ of all kinds. Information is widely defined, including but not limited to: Records, Documents, Learning objects, Visual and sound files, Data and metadata and , User-generated content.
