An Evaluation of Key Adoption Factors towards Using the Fog Technology

Fog technology is one of the recent improvements in cloud that designed to reduce some its drawbacks. architecture often widely distributed minimize time required for data processing and enable Internet Things (IoT) innovations. The purpose this paper evaluate main factors might influence adoption fog technology. This offers a combined framework addresses based on perspective, which has been comprehensively researched information systems discipline. proposed integrated combines acceptance model (TAM) diffusion innovation (DOI) theory develop holistic perspective affect are analyzed from results an online survey 43 different organizations across wide range industries. These observed collected 216 participants, including professional IT staff senior business executives. analysis was conducted by using structural equation modeling (SEM). research identified nine with statistically significant impact technology, these included relative advantage, compatibility, awareness, cost-effectiveness, security, infrastructure, ease use, usefulness, location. findings offer insight looking implement IoT tap into digital transformation opportunities presented new economy.
