%T Cloud computing adoption framework: Innovation translation approach %I Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc. %A A. Saedi %P 153-157 %X Research on Cloud Computing (CC) adoption seems to be one of the less explored and examined topics in the Information Systems (IS) domains, particularly for Small and Medium-sized Enterprises (SMEs). Prior research on CC adoption does not appreciate the benefits of using Innovation Translation Approach. Instead, Essentialist Approach, a simplistic view of CC adoption which is based only on the technological characteristics of the innovation is prevalent. Thus, this study integrates the Technology-Organization-Environment framework as an IS adoption theory while Actor Network Theory as an Innovation Translation Approach in proposing the SMEs-CC adoption framework. © 2016 IEEE. %K Cloud computing; Computation theory; Information science; Social sciences computing, Actor network theory; Adoption; Adoption framework; Essentialist approach; IS adoption; Small and medium-sized enterprise; Technological characteristics; Technology-organization-environment frameworks, Distributed computer systems %O cited By 7; Conference of 3rd International Conference on Computer and Information Sciences, ICCOINS 2016 ; Conference Date: 15 August 2016 Through 17 August 2016; Conference Code:125433 %J 2016 3rd International Conference on Computer and Information Sciences, ICCOINS 2016 - Proceedings %L scholars6484 %D 2016 %R 10.1109/ICCOINS.2016.7783206
