Examining cloud computing adoption intention, pricing mechanism, and deployment model

作者：

Highlights：

• 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.
