Examining cloud computing adoption intention, pricing mechanism, and deployment model
This study develops a cloud adoption model including adoption level, pricing mechanisms and deployment models. The research model is examined with 200 Taiwanese firms. Perceived benefits, business concerns, and IT capability are significant determinants, while external pressure is not. Firms with greater IT capability tend to choose pay-as-you-go pricing mechanism. The higher the level of business concerns, the more likely it is for the firm to choose the private cloud.
