Therefore, before deciding to implement these regulations in the institutions, it is essential to study the institution’s situation from various aspects to avoid loss and failure. This research study is based on the role of Hofstede Dimensions on the readiness of IoT adoption in Saudi universities. This study reviews the literature about the concept of Hofstede dimensions on the readiness of the IoT on a global scale. In-depth study and practical implications are assessed by hypothetical testing based upon predetermined variable and their possible impact of adopting IoT. A questionnaire was conducted and distributed in 6 universities in located the kingdom of Saudi Arabia. The questionnaire received 390 responses. SPSS 24.0 was used to examine the possible impact and degree of impact on the adoption of IoT in these Universities. The results demonstrated that there was a positive relationship between Hofstedefactors and the readiness of Saudi universities in applying the IoT.
