摘要：Cloud Computing (CC) as a new phenomenon technology has become a significant term in the world of information systems (IS). Adopting new technologies and developing new systems as new strategies help organizations to gain competitive advantage and become more efficient and productive. As cloud-based solutions have many advantages for organizations it is valuable for them to understand the determinants of cloud computing adoption. Organizations including Technology-Transfer-Offices (TTOs) need to improve their business methods by adopting CC. Despite the advantages of Cloud Computing, only a few studies have examined CC adoption in the IS field and in particular there is no study in the context of TTO. This paper aims to fill this gap by analyzing the determinants of CC adoption by Malaysian TTOs. Many factors influence CC adoption. The aim of this paper is to identify the factors and barriers which influence the adoption of CC by TTOs. To assess the determinants of CC adoption by TTOs, researcher proposed an integrated theoretical framework based on two theories of adoption: the Diffusion of Innovations (DOI) theory and Technology-Organization-Environment (TOE).
