Abstract
In recent years, due to the intense revolutions in the computing industry from surging development of cloud computing, not only information technology firms have tried hard to make a breakthrough, but also many IT consultant companies have kept focus on the development of cloud computing applications. Particularly, there will be massive business opportunities from this new trend in the computing industry. This fact makes every enterprise try to improve their competing capabilities during this revolution to gain more business opportunities and expand their markets. Since the importance of cloud computing cannot be ignored, the adoption of cloud technology in enterprise would be an important change. Therefore, in addition to expanding business opportunities, enterprises attempt to enhance the internal technology acceptance, and then the new technology would fulfill its functions and advantages. As a result, the first step to take is to solve the problems of user acceptance in order to take the advantages of cloud computing applications.
There were many studies of user acceptance in the past, and the theories about technology adoption are getting perfect. Due to the unique characteristics, cloud computing is considered to be a new information technology. Therefore, this study focuses on exploring user acceptance of cloud computing in order to understand the decision factors of cloud technology adoption. We use Technology Acceptance Model as basic knowledge as well as Innovation Diffusion Theory to add important decision factors, and provide an integrated model of user acceptance of cloud computing. Through the empirical experiment we prove this model as a suitable and useful user acceptance model in cloud computing.
