Providing a Framework For The Adoption of Cloud Computing Technology

Abstract :

Today, cloud computing technology is expanding and improving, and more services are added to this technology day by day. The aim of the present research is to provide a framework for the absorption of cloud computing based technology. The current research is a developmental-applicative goal and in terms of the research method, it is an exploratory mixed method. The statistical samples of the research were selected from managers, experts and professors in the field of technology management of Tehran universities for in-depth interviews. In this research, the researcher collected the required data by conducting in-depth and semi-structured interviews with 15 members of the community. After conducting a comprehensive analysis of the data, a total of 19 main components (macro category) and 77 sub-components (sub-category) and according to the paradigm model of foundation data theory by following a systematic approach in the form of causal conditions, the main phenomenon central), strategies, background conditions, intervening (intermediary) conditions, and consequences were presented and summarized by the researcher, and all the resulting macro categories were presented and summarized in the form of the table below. The findings of the research showed that "technology absorption" as a central category based on the causal conditions "organizational structure, attention to transparency, behavioral factors, intellectual property, innovation cycle and empowerment" and through response strategies, information transfer, Technology leadership, information security management and target selection are achieved by considering (as a model field) and lead to the realization of the consequences of organizational productivity, improvement of service quality and client satisfaction
